Geo Wins Rs. 25 Million Lawsuit Against ARY Network in a London Court

[Dawood Ibrahim]

ARY Network today lost a legal case filed by Mir Shakil Ur Rehman in a London Court.

Mir had maintained that ARY News had been airing news and programs since October 2013 to defame him and his businesses.

Not to be mentioned, case was filed in London as both groups operate and broadcast in UK under licenses granted by OFCOM.

Mir contented that his name was defamed in jurisdiction and hence should be granted relief for UK at least.



Court, after hearing both sides decided the suit in favor of Mir Shakil Ur Rehman and awarded him £185,000 in libel damages.

Awarding one of the highest general compensatory awards in recent years, the Judge observed that the broadcasts were “unrelenting and calculated to arouse hatred towards the Jang Group among members of the Pakistani community in this jurisdiction”.



The Judge also found that ARY’s conduct was “plainly oppressive, unreasonable and unacceptable”.

Well. ARY needed one whammy to come back on earth. I don't support Geo. But ARY went too far in antagonistic to Geo's reporting and the channel. They forgot it's the owner of Geo supporting the policy of government. But all those employees has nothing to do with anything the anchors saying or personal relations of owner of geo with the government.

Different tactic to attract the audience. ARY is on same page as the rest of them.

Since BOL has come on Air, Ary or Geo have lost viewerships, Non the less I still believe GEO is working against the State of Pakistan, & There are ample proofs of foreign fundings from NGOs etc etc...

Proofs or no proofs of foreign funding any sound mind person can analyse the news and programs broadcasted from jeo totally against Pakistan, they bluntly target armed forces instead of personalities and I also may dare to say that they are anti Islamic. Vulgarity is the main theme of Jeo dramas along with Hum TV.

See TV being started by Turkish company is showing more constructive programs. At least in case of National interest all media houses and channels are on same page un like Pakistan.

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

they won it in british court because there is no blasphemy law in euorope,they have no concern about ISI or Pakistan and propaganda about them.
geo owner in court accepted that on his permission anti ISI propaganda was done,he did blasphemy as it is usual in west to use music in religious programs. he won the case because Geo is getting funds from that country.

Um they won because they dont consider anti Pakistan activities as illegal we forget main point of this case that he accepted his role in the DG ISI news fiasco so everything ARY and Mubashir Luqman ever said about ARY was 100% true

I dont watch any geo tv but what is vulgar in HUM dramas?
In my view they air the best dramas in Pakistan followed closely by ARY digital

Mighty ARY...

If this was done in UK, I don't know what ARY would have lost. The idiotic reporter should be punished harshly.

Well when a tb channel puts headlines like
Imran Khan ki mukhalif party ka karkun murda paya gaya instead of using the filthy baboon butt,s party name we know we have a biased media house with an agenda

In which other country do you see their media openly ridiculing their agencies?

Mild criticism is ok but openly blaming state isntitution provides canon fodder to foreign govts and media houses i dont know about you but i clearly dont fancy that

ARY is second name of ISPR.

Geo = baboons ki rakhail

Sir, and you think your powerful intelligence agencies and the military is asleep and weak against a small network? Many of you people just write posts that just sound silly and have no logic. In a country like Pakistan, if anything was deemed "anti-Pakistani", it would be shut down overnight. The history has hundreds of examples. Its ok to have personal favorites, its not ok to lie about something due to your personal interests and defame someone. This topic shows you what happens to defamation. Thanks

As I mentioned clearly no one above the law and that's it, there are blunders done by everyone here you name it I provide you details but it's better we leave it and focus on to fix the law boundaries IF Geo did wrong take them to courts
