Pakistan Idol

[PakiMD]

Sindh High Court on Friday restrained a local TV channel from airing the “Pakistan Idol” programme in a Rs.50 million lawsuit filed by M/s Independent Media for injunction on its franchise right.
The plaintiff submitted that it has acquired franchise right to air the localized version of the programme “Pakistan Idol” from its owner Freemantle Media for broadcast in Pakistan.
The plaintiff’s counsel Mohammad Ali Mazhar contended that his client has invested millions of rupees to acquire the right to air this programme, which is also being aired in 43 other countries, but the defendant encroached such mark and idea which was actually the plaintiff’s right.
The counsel expressed the fear that the defendant (Fortune Marketing) was trying to infringe such rights and it appeared that it may first air the program on August 13. He sought interim injunction restraining the defendant from telecasting the program in question.
SHC’s single bench granted interim injunction restraining the defendant from telecasting the program till next date of hearing.
