''Pakistan Idol '' Coming
Soon, Geo TV gets rights for it
Sindh High Court on Friday restrained a local TV channel
from airing the “Pakistan Idol” programme
in a Rs.50 million lawsuit filed by M/s Independent
Media for injunction on its franchise right. |
| The
plaintiff submitted that it has acquired franchise right
to air the localized version of the programme “Pakistan
Idol” from its owner Freemantle Media for broadcast
in Pakistan. |
| The
plaintiff’s counsel Mohammad Ali Mazhar contended
that his client has invested millions of rupees to acquire
the right to air this programme, which is also being
aired in 43 other countries, but the defendant encroached
such mark and idea which was actually the plaintiff’s
right. |
| The
counsel expressed the fear that the defendant (Fortune
Marketing) was trying to infringe such rights and it
appeared that it may first air the program on August
13. He sought interim injunction restraining the defendant
from telecasting the program in question. |
| SHC’s
single bench granted interim injunction restraining
the defendant from telecasting the program till next
date of hearing.
