The Carlton Sports Network Chairman
Rohan Welivita filed a writ petition in the Court of Appeals against the
canceling of its terrestrial broadcasting license by the Secretary to the Media
Ministry.
Through the
petition, Welivita states that the license was cancelled arbitrarily with no
inquiry at all. Furthermore, the legal provisions do not allow the Media
Secretary to cancel the license, he also pointed out.
Court of Appeal today considered the petition and issued
notice to the respondents including the Secretary to the Media Ministry to
appear before court on November 16
