The Supreme Court on Monday (28 November) issued notice to the centre on a plea by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy, seeking the framing of a cogent and clear national security policy covering economic offences as well.
A bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice D Y Chandrachud issued notice to the centre as Swamy pointed to the issuance of phase three FM licence to the Maran family-owned Sun TV in Tamil Nadu.
Seeking the introduction of economic offences in the ambit of national security, Swamy said that those involved in or being prosecuted for the economic offences should not be given air waves.
He was referring to the prosecution of Maran in Aircel-Maxis matter.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
