The plea sought directions against Prasar Bharati, a statutory body that operates Doordarshan and All India Radio. The plea was filed for continuing to refer to the private body BCCI's team as the national team of India.
Despite the above legal position, the PIL stated that Prasar Bharti still continues to use national symbols as well as the flag while referring to the BCCI's cricket team.
The petitioner further went on to protest against the practice, which violates the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950, and the Flag Code of India, 2002, both of which regulate the use of national games and flags and symbols.
"This writ petition is being filed to ensure that national names, symbols and the Indian National Flag are not misused or associated with private commercial entities like the BCCI without proper statutory authority or recognition," the plea stated, emphasising the need to "safeguard public trust and prevent citizens of India from being misled into believing that the BCCI officially represents the country as the 'Indian National Cricket Team'."
Delhi High Court Chief Justice dismisses the BCCI matter with a strict statement
"Are you saying that the team does not represent India? The team which is going and playing everywhere, they are misrepresenting? Forget about BCCI. If Doordarshan or any other authority projects it as team India, is it not team India?" the bench questioned the litigant.
PIL mentioned that such a portrayal has commercial implications
The PIL sought directions to restrain public broadcasters from using the national symbols as well as the names in association with the BCCI unless the government allows them for formal recognition through statutory means.
