The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday ordered the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to restore transmission of ARY News.
ARY News was ordered off the air for 15 days on Monday by PEMRA for “maligning honourable courts and judiciary”.
The channel’s management approached the Sindh High Court on Tuesday to lift the suspension and a judge issued a stay order, allowing cable providers to resume broadcast.
“Yes, the court has given us relief and PEMRA has issued notification to all the cable operators in compliance of the court orders,” Ammad Yousaf, the senior vice president of ARY News told reporters.
“In response to the PEMRA orders, 70 per cent transmission of the channel has been restored across the country till now,” he said.
