Speaking at the press conference called by MediaOne TV in February in national capital Delhi, The Hindu chairman Ram criticised the use of "sealed cover jurisprudence."

MediaOne Channel was banned by the government. The party that was banned was not given specific reasons for the ban, because ‘national security.’

The Kerala High Court on Wednesday dismissed the appeal moved by Malayalam news channel MediaOne TV against the single judge order upholding the recent ban imposed on it by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on "national security grounds."

In any event, the Kerala High Court “judgment” marks another valuable contribution to the evolving Indian jurisprudence of the sealed cover, where fundamental rights are sacrificed at the altar of secret material passed between the government and the judge, with neither the petitioner nor the public ever getting to know why a citizen’s rights have been done away with.

While welcoming the Kerala High Court court’s ruling of extending a stay on the Union government’s decision to cancel the license of news channel MediaOne, International Press Institue urged the government to drop its effort to shut down MediaOne over vague "national security" concerns.

A delegation of MPs from Kerala across party lines met the Information and Broadcasting minister, Anurag Thakur on Tuesday and raised their strong opposition to the dismissal of the broadcasting license of MediaOne TV, a leading Malayalam news channel.
