The Delhi High Court today termed as vague and open to misuse the Centre's process for granting security clearance to radio channels for participating in the stage III FM auction. A bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva asked the government to consider postponing it. The court said, things are not spelt out as to what is mean by security clearance. <br/><br/>It said, the clause requiring company and directors of radio company to be security cleared is vague which can be misused. The observations were made by the court during hearing of a plea by Digital Radio Broadcasting Ltd against the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting's (I&B) decision to refuse its radio channel, Red FM, permission to participate in the third phase of FM auctions currently scheduled for July 27. <br/><br/>Their application to participate in the auction was rejected as they were not given security clearance by the Union Home Ministry on the ground that Kalanithi Maran, a shareholder in the radio channel, was facing prosecution in a money laundering case, as per their plea.
