These losers and their few supporters are so scared and this is their last hope. But the reality is that the more they do this the more stupid they will look. ARY is the top TV station and they are desperate to stop it broadcasting.

LAHORE: The Supreme Court of Pakistan and Lahore High Court (LHC) have been moved against the suspension of transmission of ARY NEWS and arrest of channel’s head of news Ammad Yousaf, ARY NEWS reported on Wednesday.

The petition was filed by Advocate Azhar Siddique along with PFUJ President Shahzad Butt, ARY NEWS reporter and members of civil society before the Lahore registry of the apex court.

The petition stated that two FIRs were registered on a similar complaint in Islamabad and Karachi against the decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. It further said that the CEO of ARY NEWS and administration has also been booked in the case while head of news Ammad Yousaf was arrested in the similar case.

The applicants said that the PEMRA opened its office during a holiday to serve a show-cause notice and later shutdown the transmission of the channel, highlighting the ill-intent of the PEMRA authorities.

It further highlighted that no criminal proceedings could be initiated after the launch of PEMRA proceedings in a matter. It asked the court to stop actions against the administration of the channel and order immediate release of Ammad Yousaf.

Moreover, Pakistan Federal Union of Journalist (PFUJ) has also challenged suspension of transmission of ARY NEWS nationwide and arrest of its Head of News Ammad Yousaf before the Lahore High Court (LHC).

The petition before the LHC was filed by PFUJ Secretary Rana Azeem through his counsel who stated that Chairman PEMRA has no right to shutdown transmission of any news channel.

“The PEMRA could only take the decision after serving a notice following an inquiry,” it said, adding that all respondents should be given equal opportunity during the inquiry to plead their case.

However, Rana Azeem said PEMRA shutdown the channel on cable without listening to ARY NEWS. “Two cases have also been registered with regard to remarks on the channel and they are currently being investigated,” they said.

They are hypocrites.

Did you notice how the wife killer partys supporter is lying and saying ARY did not voice support for his traitor channels ''journalists'' when they were justifiably facing the legal system?

The Sindh High Court on Wednesday directed the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) and cable operators to immediately restore the transmission of ARY News.

The SHC also extended the time to respond to an impugned show-cause notice, issued by Pemra to the news channel, up to Aug 15 and restrained Pemra from suspending or revoking the licence of channel till Aug 17 after the channel’s counsel assured the court that PTI leader Shahbaz Gill would not be allowed to appear on the channel, subject to further court orders.

However, the single-judge bench headed by Justice Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan said that Pemra would be at liberty to consider the submissions of the channel upon submission of a suitable response to the show-cause notice and the plaintiff would be given fair opportunity to ensure that all legal requirements were fulfilled, but no final order be passed till Aug 17.

The counsel further undertook that the plaintiff would use extreme caution in respect of the individuals who have tendency of uttering certain words or express a stand point which may create basis of issuance of a similar show cause notice in the future. The bench issued these directives during a preliminary hearing of a lawsuit filed by the management of news channel impugning a show-cause notice issued by Pemra on Aug 8.

The lawyer for Pemra said the authority has not passed any order for banning the channel nor has issued any direction to any cable operator to remove the channel from the cable. The bench also issued notices to Pemra and other defendants as well as deputy attorney general for Aug 17.

This is called a democracy. Something that you are not familiar with, but no fascists are familiar with this concept especially supporters of rural parties led by gender confused idiots. Wanting power is a politicians aim, elections are the method. I hope I have cleared it up for you.
