In a bid to play safe and fair, the Allahabad Court on Wednesday has issued show cause notice to two news channels for allegedly broadcasting results of exit polls despite restrictions on the same having been imposed by the Election Commission in view of the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. 

The notice was issued followed by hearing a petition which was filed two days ago, stating that two channels news channels Sahara Samay and Star News have been broadcasting results of exit polls despite an EC order dated January 12, 2012, whereby all channels and newspapers had been restrained from disseminating opinion poll and exit poll results till the seven-phase voting was over in the state.

The channels were also directed to notify that they should reply till 29th Feb 2011, as to why they should not be issued show cause notice pertaining to their alleged role in violation of EC order dated January 12, 2012.
