The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking a complete ban on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in India, saying it was completely wrong. A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and MM Sundresh passed the order while hearing a petition filed by Vishnu Gupta, president of Hindu Sena, and Birender Kumar Singh, a farmer.
"The writ petition is totally misconceived and has no merit. Hence, it stands dismissed," the bench said.
