India, May 5 -- The Supreme Court on Monday sought the central government's response on a petition seeking quashing of the order blocking YouTube channel '4 PM'.

The court posted the matter for hearing after two weeks as the channel owner Sanjay Sharma sought urgent orders to restore his operations.

A bench headed by Justice Bhushan R Gavai said, "We have to hear the other side before passing any order," as the court also issued notice to YouTube, which had issued the blocking order on April 29, on the instructions of the Centre.

The plea, filed by Sanjay Sharma who runs the YouTube channel, has sought direction to the Centre to produce the blocking order with reasons and records, if any, for blocking the channel.
