HC asks Centre, BCCC to decide complaint against reality show

The Delhi High Court today asked the Centre and the Broadcasting Consumers Complaint Committee (BCCC) to decide on allegations of "vulgarity" and "obscenity" against reality show 'Emotional Atyachar' telecast on UTV Bindass channel.
"We direct the Union of India and BCCC to pass final directions with respect to the said two alleged violations; Union of India would take the decision with respect to the first of the two violations and BCCC shall pass an order with respect to its opinion which order would be taken to its logical conclusion by the Union of India," a bench of justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Pratibha Rani said.

The court's direction came in a judgement delivered on a PIL filed against 'Emotional Atyachar' which has been telecast on UTV Bindass Tv channel of UTV Software Communication Ltd.
The PIL had said a regulatory mechanism be devised to enforce the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act 1995 and action taken against the channel for running the "indecent and vulgar" show.
