The civil court has thrown out Raajje TV’s lawsuit against the state for failure to protect the station from the 2013 arson attack that destroyed its studios and master control room.
The lawsuit was filed citing police incompetence in protecting the broadcaster’s assets, despite information being given to law enforcement authorities about the possibility of an attack.
Raajje TV cited a Police Integrity Commission report, which found that police negligence had led to the attack.
Chief Operating Officer Hussain Fiyaz Moosa said lawyers were notified in writing that the court’s registrar had not accepted the suit.
