Jacintha case: Aus court rejects FM station's plea to stop ACMA probe
Melbourne: An Australian court today rejected the 2Day FM station's petition, paving the way for the country's media watchdog to conclude its probe into handling of a royal prank call by the Sydney-based radio station
Media report further said the FM station's counsel has demanded that ACMA's interim report remain suppressed from publication while his client "considered its options in terms of an appeal".
Justice Edmonds agreed to suppress the report for two weeks.
Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian made the hoax call to the King Edward VII's hospital in London, posing as the Queen and Prince of Wales when Prince William's wife Kate was being treated for a rare form of pregnancy sickness.
Saldanha, who transferred their call to a colleague, who then described Kate's condition in detail, was found dead in her room a few days after the incident, sparking a backlash against the 2Day FM DJs.
