Chief Justice orders authorities to let CBNSat operate

Reports are coming in that the Chief Justice has taken the CBNSat case today and he has ordered the authorities to let CBNSat operate within 2 weeks time maximum. Could someone please confirm all this. We also received an email saying that CBNSat will commence test transmissions from today. Can anyone please confirm all this. If all this is true we would like to thank the Chief Justice for a job well done. Thank You your honour for upholding the truth. Please read following communication from CBNSat Subscribers Unite Group.

Dear Friends,
The CJ have taken the CBNSat case today and ordered the authorities
to let CBN operate within 2 weeks maximum. he further said that try
to let CBN restart transmissions by the Aug 15th or 23rd he'll take up
the case.
So good news is that CBNSat WILL BE ON AIR BEFORE 23rd.
Security concerns were also raised at the courts and CJ have said if
it is so put 2 people to monitor the system from TRC. Regarding the LTTE
issue CJ have said out of 20,000 subscribers the majority is sinhalese
and why havn't at least one subscriber complained to police if ltte channel
could be seen through CBNSat.
I think CJ have taken a bold decision at the interest of the subscriber and
we are really greateful to him for bringing in justice to us.

Yep!

The police are in CBNsat office right now and they have removed the seals form the equipment. The test transmission has begun from now on.

Long live CJ.

So when will us get otview CBNSat again??. Can we view the test transmissions?

Alf said...

I am wondering what they are testing?? After all this time!! And what will happen after the testing phase!! Is there a report to be submitted again?? If so you will never know what will surface from it.

I heard from CBN that CID now removing the seals and they will be able to start test transmission shortly. Further they said that full transmission can be started on 15th once they receive the licenses. But there is a posibility that government may reject the application to grant licenses. On 23rd those issues have to be forwarded to CJ. Correct me if I'm wrong.

NO ! THIS IS JUST FOR CBN TO TEST THE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN SHUT DOWN FOR 2 MONTHS NOW !

STILL WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY BROADCAST ANY CHANNELS BUT THEY WILL SEND MESSAGES TO THE CUSTOMERS THROUGH THE SYSTEM

I received the following sms from CBNSat :-).

"Supreme Court ruling given that seals to be removed for servicing and test transmission of equipment. Licencing issues to be finalized by 23 August. CBNSat"

I suggest that we continue to ask customers to sign the petition. Since most people here tend to think that anything can happen between now and 23rd, it is better to be prepared for the worse.
The language in the petition can remain the same. If we dont get the transmission, the petition is valid. Hopefully by then we will have lot more signatures.

Thank You CJ. Lets hope now that your decisions are executed.

Hard work pays...

Finally some good news... Thank you every one directly and indirectly making this possible.

2 months of frustration comes to end with some hope.

While the momentum is there, why dont't we organise a press conference and invite all the media
which are loyal to us and not so loyal to us and tell them the true story.
It's time to tell the country about this blog and the effort we have put to get CBNsat back in air.
It's time to tell the country the truth.

It was said in the morning news bulletin of Neth FM that the president had directry intervened and given orders to the Media Minister to issue the licence to CBNSat without any further delay.

Hopefully the CID will remove the seals today the CBN will service their equipment and start a test transmission soon. We are not very clear whether this could be received by the subscribers but at least they will be on air on and off.

Everything should be ok by 23rd max. May be before that !


WE ARE NOT AT A MOMENT STOPPING OUR FIGHT TILL CBNSAT IS BACK ON AIR WITH THE REGULAR PROGRAMMING !

WE WILL BE CONSTANTLY BE IN TOUCH WITH THE MEDIA MINISTRY AND INFORM THE SUBSCRIBERS WHO IS IN CONTACT WITH US ABOUT THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS. THE PETITION WILL COLLECT SIGNATURES AS USUAL TILL THE SERVICES ARE RESTORED FULLY !!!

IF ANYTHING NEGATIVE IS GOING TO HAPPEN WE'LL RAISE OUR VOICES AT ANY COST.

WE HAVE GROWN TO A VERY STRONG SUBSCRIBERS UNITE WITHIN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

THE ACTUAL STRENGTH BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF US IS THE IMMENSE BACKING WE HAD FROM THE VICTIMISED SUBSCRIBERS.

I should thank 100's of subscribers who emailed us and people who bravely signed the petition amidst all the fearings going around. This clearly shows that if we get together the law will be on our side and the corrupt politicians have no say in any of their unethical actions.

This is a good lesson for all of us on how to fight for a common cause unitedly !!!

TOGETHER WE WILL WIN !!!!!!
