The TV Today Network on Thursday withdrew a petition filed in the Delhi High Court against Arnab Goswami's Republic TV, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) and Broadcast Audience Research Council (Barc). The network's decision came after the court's refusal to entertain an action against airing of Republic TV in more than one category on direct-to-home television.
TV Today had moved court days before Republic TV was declared as India's most watched news network by Barc. This had prompted the exit of English news channels affiliated to the News Broadcasters Association from the council last Thursday after Barc disregarded their requests
