at noon after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting refused to renew the channel's licence to operate in the wake of the MHA's revocation of the security clearance for Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited. MediaOne TV is one of the few Indian news channels whose ownership lies with an Islamic organization. On 8 February 2022, the Kerala High Court upheld the order passed by the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to revoke the broadcasting license granted to MediaOne TV. The Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Maadhyamam Broadcasting Ltd challenging the Union's decision. Justice N. Nagaresh held that, after perusing the files from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, there were intelligence inputs that justified the denial of security clearance to the channel: An editorial in The Hindu criticized the ban for being based on sealed, classified information, without MediaOne being made aware of its contents, as did another in The Indian Express. On 2 March 2022, the division bench of Kerala High Court upheld the earlier order. It noted that "there are certain serious adverse reports by the Intelligence Bureau against Madhyamam Broadcasting Ltd and its managing director", and though the files did not provide much information as to the dimensions of the issue, the bench indicated that "there are clear and significant indications impacting the public order and security of the state". MediaOne appealed its decision to the Supreme Court of India, alleging that the guidelines for uplinking and downlinking television channels did not require MHA permission at renewal but only upon application for new service. The Supreme Court stayed the ban and permitted MediaOne to resume operations under an interim order on 15 March 2022, at which time its management announced it would continue broadcasting as it had before the ban was imposed. The three-judge bench's ruling noted that the company was "surely entitled" to know the reasons for the decision; the central government was ordered to file a counter affidavit by 26 March. On 3 November, the Supreme Court reserved judgment in the case after two days of hearings.
