LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday suspended Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority’s (PEMRA) decision of fining Neo TV one million rupees for airing the alleged wrong news of Gulberg blast in Lahore.

Neo TV challenged PEMRA’s decision in LHC through Advocate Saad Rasool. Neo TV’s lawyer presented his stance in front of Justice Aminuddin and said PEMRA had not fulfilled all the regulations and gave its verdict unlawfully.

The court accepted Neo TV’s application and declared to commence proper hearing of this case. Furthermore, it suspended PEMRA’s decision of fining the channel and demanded an explanation in four weeks.
