Impact of ongoing cases
2012 Delhi gang-rape case
Bhartiya Stree Shakti (Nagpur Wing), a non-governmental organisation, Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India intervened and asked Sony Entertainment Television not to telecast a program about the Delhi gang-rape case.[8][9][10][11] But on 10 September 2013, the show was given permission to present the 2012 Delhi gang rape case on their show, and subsequently the promos of the episode were also aired.[12] The episode was aired in a two-episode part on 21 September 2013 and 22 September 2013.[13][14][15][16]
Om Prakash Chautala case
Sony TV was to air episodes based on Om Prakash Chautala teacher recruitment scam in the show. On 22 February 2013 Delhi High Court restrained Sony TV from telecasting the related episodes till 4 April 2013, upon the appeal by Chautala and others as the case was still in court and there was a possibility of a bias of the show on case.[17] On 2 March 2013, show was given clearance by High court.[18] However, clearance was challenged in Supreme Court and on 6 March 2013, the episodes of this case were again put on hold.[19] On 3 May 2013, the Supreme Court allowed Sony TV to telecast episodes as the trial was complete and judgment of conviction and sentence are in public domain.[20]
