The SC set aside on Tuesday last week a contempt notice issued to Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) chairman and summoned BOL news management on February 6.

SC sets aside contempt notice to Pemra, summons BOL news management
The orders were issued in an appeal filed by Pemra against an order of SHC which granted stay to Labbaik Private Limited against Pemra’s order of prohibiting Aamir Liaquat, as a host, and his programme ‘Aaisy Nahi Chalay Ga’ from airing until the decision of Councils of Complaints. Eminent lawyers Zahid Kakharuddin and Kashif Hanif represented Pemra in the case.
The media watchdog had banned Aamir from appearing on any TV show for “preaching hate”.
