Kolkata: Calcutta High Court on June 30 allowed the telecast of the controversial mega-serial 'Karishma: A Miracle of Destiny' on Sahara TV.

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 July 7.

The court directed Sahara to furnish a bank guarantee of Rs 25 lakh with the registrar (original side) of the High Court.

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'.
