The Madras High Court today issued an interim order allowing Sun Group to participate in the Phase-III auction process of FM radio. Justice M Sathyanarayanan, who passed the order, said that results of the auction should be kept in a sealed cover till further orders.
The judge also said, the decision is subject to the result of the main writ petition filed by the group seeking a direction to quash the order passed by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry. The Ministry had disallowed the group from taking part in the auction process on the basis of absence of clearance from the Union Home Ministry.
