The Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) has withdrawn its order asking a channel to apologise to actress Ranjitha Menon and conveyed to the channel that no apology scroll needs to be run untill a revised order is passed.
The BCCC had earlier issued the order after a complaint from the actress that the channel had telecast a programme which had shown her in a bad light.
The BCCC, a self-regulatory body of television channels, after receiving a submission from STAR Vijay channel has told it that "our earlier order stands withdrawn and you need not air the said apology scroll from 12 noon on September 9."
The body, headed by former Delhi High Court Chief Justice A P Shah, said fresh directions for airing the apology scroll would be communicated to them soon "through the revised order".
The actress had complained against the broadcast of certain video clips in a programme titled 'Nadanthadu Enna--Kutramum Pinnaniyum' (What happened--crime and background) telecast on March 21 last year by STAR Vijay.
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry had forwarded the complaint to the BCCC.
