On a petition moved in the High Court against the reality show, Emotional Atyachaar, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry has held that certain episodes of the reality show ‘Emotional Atyachaar’,
telecast on UTV Bindass, violate various provisions of the Programme Code and are not fit for unrestricted public exhibition.
The affidavit said I&B Secretary Raghu Menon has personally viewed the episodes and also considered the recommendations of the IMC. The IMC had said the programme offends Rules 6(1)(a), 6(a)(d), 6(1)(k), (6(1)(o), 6(5) and 6(2) of the Programme Code.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Sanjeev Khanna directed that the matter be taken up on 24 August, after taking on record the affidavit filed by the Ministry admitting the programme was unfit for unrestricted pubic exhibition.
The petitioner claimed that the reality TV show 'Emotional Atyachaar' is really an ‘emotional atyachaar on the viewers’ as it is nothing more than infringing the privacy of individuals and spreading vulgarity.
