New Delhi: The Supreme Court has ordered Ten Sports to continue to give live signals and provide facilities to Doordarshan for telecast of the remaining three one-day International cricket matches and the three Tests to be played between India and Pakistan.
A three-judge Bench, comprising the Chief Justice V.N. Khare, Justice N. Santosh Hegde and Justice S.H. Kapadia, directed Prasar Bharati to deposit Rs. 40 crores within a week towards the likely loss and damages suffered by Ten Sports for sharing the telecast with Doordarshan.
The court has directed Prasar Bharati to carry the signals received from Ten Sports with the logo and advertisements 30 minutes before, during and after the telecast of the matches.
