Mumbai, December 27: The Bombay High Court today allowed telecast of popular reality TV show “Bigg Boss” at prime time following an undertaking from the Colors Channel that it will self-censor the contents of the programme.
While permitting to air the show at 9 pm, a bench comprising Justice S J Kathawala and Justice U D Salvi granted liberty to the Ministry of Information and Broadcast (I&B) to move the court without giving a show cause notice to the channel in case there was violation of the undertaking given by them.
Colors gave an undertaking in which they agreed not to violate the rules, self-censor “objectionable scenes and dialogues” and also not to provide clippings of the programme to any news channels henceforth.
