The Bombay High Court has ordered Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) to produce evidence against Zee News by November 17. Adjourning the case on Tuesday, Justice S.J. Kathawala said the final hearing would be on November 23.
“How can you make such allegations of blackmail and extortion without producing any prima facie evidence or copy of the video or audio CDs or transcripts to support your claims,” Justice Kathawala asked the JSPL officials present in court.
He also asked the channel why it had not telecast a clarification given by JSPL in response to the allegations made by the news channel in the Coalgate scam report.
The Court has directed the channel to telecast the same before November 2.
