A four-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Wednesday gave three-week time to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to submit a complete report regarding alleged objectionable programmes on PTV and private channels.
The bench included Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza Khan, Justice Muhammad Nawaz Abbasi and Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan. The case was taken up by the bench on a petition filed in 1996 under Article 184 (3) of the constitution by advocate Fazal Elahi Siddiqui, who raised questions about various programmes in the light of Islamic values.
Attorney General Justice retired Malik Abdul Qayyum appeared before the bench and sought time for submission of the report. The bench directed that a comprehensive report regarding airing of alleged indecent programmes, code of conduct being observed by private TV channels and other related information should be submitted within three weeks.
