New Delhi May 11 The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to grant Nimbus' request to restrain TataSky and Dish TV from broadcasting live the ongoing India- Bangladesh cricket series.

The High Court is believed to have refused to grant a stay to the two direct-to-home (DTH) operators, and ruled that transmitting Doordarshan, which is also telecasting the matches, was not a violation of copyright.

According to TataSky's counsel, Mr Ramji Srinivasan, the DTH licence mandates the carriage of Prasar Bharati channels on the most profitable terms.

Nimbus early this year had opposed the compulsory sharing of signals with Prasar Bharati, which runs Doordarshan. The Government had replied by introducing the Sports Broadcasting Signals (Mandatory Sharing with Prasar Bharti) Ordinance 2007.

The company refused to comment on the matter.

The next hearing is scheduled for May 21.
