The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered the private TV channels about issuing statements and airing comments regarding judges of courts.
The order was issued in the hearing of a petition filed by a lawyer Shumail Ahmed here on Tuesday.
The petitioner plead that various anchor persons of private TV channels with disputed personalities and politicians issue statements and target judges of the courts for their decisions in different cases which leaves negative impacts on the minds of public against judiciary and judicial policy of the country.
He said that electronic media was using programs against judiciary to increase rating of their channels which was against article 68 of the constitution.
The LHC accepting the petition for hearing imposed ban on talk shows and other programs relating to judiciary and summoned the Advocate General (AG) Punjab on Nov 05, for assistance.
