The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has dismissed a request filed by ARY news against the imposition of 45-day prohibition on one of its anchorpersons, Dr Shahid Masood.

Justice Aamer Farooq, after hearing the arguments of counsel for the channel and Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra), allowed the order on the petition on September 7. In his judgment, Justice Farooq maintained that the petition wasn’t maintainable as the Pemra’s action was lawful and in accordance with observations.

“Examination of the words of Dr Shahid Masood in the programme in question shows that no name was taken, however, it is evident and clear that the opinion/remarks were referred to the honorable chief justice Sindh high Court,” judgment reads.
