The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Sunday declared "ineffective" a petition that sought stay on an order of the High Court, which on August 19 suspended Somoy TV broadcast for seven days.
The court termed the petition "ineffective" as the private TV channel has already resumed broadcasting.
Dismissing the petition, the apex court said that it had become infructuous.
A full bench of the Appellate Division, headed by Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed, passed the order after hearing the petition on Sunday.
On August 21, an appeal was filed in the Appellate Division's Chamber Court seeking a stay on the High Court's order to halt Somoy TV's broadcast for seven days.
The appeal was submitted by Ahmed Zobair, the managing director of Somoy TV.
On Monday, the writ petitioner's lawyer, Advocate Ahsanul Karim, informed the Appellate Division that the Somoy TV broadcast resumed as the seven-day duration after the HC order expired.
He said that this case is not effective now.
Barrister AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon and Barrister Saqeb Mahbub appeared for Jobaer during the hearing.
