New Delhi, July 22: Softdrinks major Coca-Cola India
has been allowed to again air the sprite commercial on all TV channels by a Faridabad court after it lifted the ban imposed on this ad earlier.
Judicial magistrate Rachna Gupta allowed telecast of the
Sprite advertisement following a report by the Faridabad
deputy commissioner that "there is no apparent violation of
the cable television network act and as such no cognisance
under the said act has been taken".
A Faridabad resident, chatter pal, had filed a compliant against the sprite advertisement, alleging it ridiculed Amitabh Bachchan and Sachin Tendulkar "who featured in the ad of a competing beverage company."
In its order the court said "the application in question
is allowed in part whereby the order refraining the telecast
of the commercial in question has been removed...," Coke in a statement said.
