NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed Nimbus Communication to provide a live feed for the cricket match between India and Sri Lanka to be played on February 17 in Visakhapatnam.
 
The bench comprising Justices Vikramjit Sen and JP Singh passed the order after Nimbus counsel Gopal Jain mentioned the matter before the bench, seeking protection against the showcause notice issue by the Centre on Wednesday.
 
Nimbus offered to provide a live feed of the match to Prasar Bharati with a rider that the Centre will not take any action or decision as per the showcause notice stating if they do provide a live feed their license will be suspended.
 
After the Centre gave an undertaking that it will not take any action, the court directed the government not to take any decision or action till March 9, the next date of hearing.
 
The court also issued notices to the Centre and Prasar Bharati on a petition filed by Nimbus challenging the ordinance, which makes it mandatory for private broadcaster to share a live feed with Prasar Bharati.
 
Earlier in the day, Nimbus had approached the Delhi High Court, seeking protection from the Centre's alleged threat to cancel its licence if it did not respond to the government's showcause notice by Thursday.
