The Madras high court on Tuesday reserved its order on an interim plea by the Sun Group, seeking direction to the Centre to allow it to participate in the Phase-III auction process of FM radio.
Justice M Sathyanarayanan reserved the order after hearing arguments by a battery of senior lawyers Sathish Parasaran PS Raman and ARL Sunderesan on behalf of Sun Group and Additional Solicitor General G Rajagopalan representing the union government. Making the interim prayer in a batch of six petitions, the Sun Group and its companies have sought a stay on the July 15 order of the I&B Ministry refusing permission to the Group company to participate in the phase III FM auctions.
