Channel 1 files writ with HC
The authorities of Channel 1, a private satellite television station, filed a writ petition with the High Court yesterday, challenging the government action of shutting down the TV channel.
Prof Majidul Islam, director of Channel 1, filed the petition stating that the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has illegally cancelled the allocation of frequency for the channel.
The BTRC had not issued any show cause notice to the channel before its action, he said.
An HC bench of Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain and Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore fixed Monday (today) for hearing the petition.
