CQ- Delhi High Court put off Kantar case till August 26 ======================================= The Delhi High Court on 11th July adjourned the hearing on a dispute between Kantar Media and the Centre till 26th August, ensuring the company is not penalised for not complying with the new cross-holding norms for TV rating agencies. The Centre in January 2014 has decided to regulate the rating system and asked rating agencies to register with the information and broadcasting ministry by February 16. According to the new guidelines, no single entity can hold paid-up equity in excess of 10 per cent simultaneously in a rating agency and broadcaster, advertiser or advertising agency. Kantar owns half of TAM Media Research, the countrys only TV ratings agency. Kantar Media, then challenged the governments decision to regulate TV rating agencies since the regulation was to come into effect from February 15.
