MediaOne licence revoked due to MHA’s national security concerns; cannot insist on natural justice: Centre to Kerala High Court

In 2012,the company applied for uplink and downlink of a Non-News TV channel “Media One Life” and News TV Channel “Media One Global”.

Further, the company applied for appointment of two Directors namely, Musliyarakath Mehaboob and Rahmathunnissa Abdul Razack by a letter dated March 31, 2015.

Both requests were forwarded to the MHA in 2015, the Central government has said.

Based on the previous MHA clearance received in 2011, which was valid for 10 years, the Ministry granted permission to M/s. Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited for “Media One Life”.

However, in 2016, the MHA denied the security clearance to both the proposals i.e. permission of additional TV channels namely, “Media One Life” and “Media One Global” and appointment of two Directors.

A show-cause notice was issued to the company as well.
