NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court today admitted a petition seeking
that direct-to-home (DTH) services available in the country be probed
over what was termed the easy availability and accessability of
channels with pornographic content on DTH platforms.
The Government of India (as the responsible authority) and Zee
Telefilms (as the promoter of the only private DTH service in the
country at present) have been made parties to the case. The petition
was filed by communications expert and noted psephologist Dr N Bhaskar
Rao, who runs the Delhi-based media watchdog Centre for Media Studies
(CMS). The petition was filed in Dr Rao's individual capacity.
