Delhi HC adjourns Kantar case till 26 August

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High court today adjourned till 26 August the hearing in the matter relating to Kantar Media Research with regard to cross holding in TAM. 

The adjournment came after justice Manmohan was informed that the new government had not appointed the advocate who would argue on behalf of the government.

TAM can continue publishing its TV ratings till the court decides on the Kantar petition.

The matter arose after the Information and Broadcasting Ministry directed all rating agencies to get themselves registered with the government and laid down conditions which barred cross holding.

 Kantar Media Research challenged the government regulation in view of the cross holding provision.
