The Sindh High Court recently issued a temporary restraining order against Geo Super, a Pakistani sports channel, from broadcasting the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 8 matches. The order came after a petition was filed by ARY News Network against Geo Super for alleged violations of their broadcasting rights.

Broadcasting rights – ARY News Network x PTV x Geo Super

The PCB has exclusive broadcasting rights for the PSL 8 matches, and they had granted those rights to a different sports channel. However, Geo Super went ahead and started broadcasting the matches without obtaining the proper rights, leading to legal action.
