Somoy TV’s broadcast to remain suspended, hearing Sunday

Broadcasting of Somoy TV, a private television channel, will remain suspended as the Supreme Court's chamber judge on Wednesday did not stay the High Court order.

Justice Md Ashfaqul Islam, chamber judge of the Appellate Division, sent the petition, which sought a stay on the HC order, to its full bench for hearing on Sunday (August 25).

The apex court chamber judge passed the order after hearing arguments from the counsels of both parties.

Earlier, Ahmed Jobaer, a director of Somoy Media Limited, submitted the petition to the Appellate Division seeking a stay on the HC order that on August 19 asked authorities concerned to stop its transmission for seven days.
