NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: Karishma may yet shine on the small screen and Sahara TV may yet be able to woo the viewers in an effort to cash in on CAS. The telecast may start from 7 July.
 
 
The Calcutta High Court on Monday allowed the telecast of the controversial mega-serial Karishma : A miracle of Destiny on Sahara TV, promoted by Subrata Roy. Justice M H S Ansari vacated the injunction on the telecast of the serial produced by Sahara Media Entertainment Limited, with a direction to start the telecast from 7 July.

The court directed Sahara to furnish a bank guarantee of Rs 250,000 with the Registrar (original side) of the High Court, a PTI report from Kolkata said. However,Sahara Manoranjan could not be contacted for an official comment and whether the serial would start airing from 7 July or later.

Best selling American author Barbara Taylor Bradford had filed a petition alleging infringement of copyright claiming that the serial was based on her novel A Woman of Substance. During the course of the hearing the writer of Karishma had also alleged that a foreign TV network and its owner were behind the court case against Karishma.
