Were some TV channels served show cause notices ?

Is it true that
the show cause notices were served on prime television channels invoking the Programme Code of Cable Television Network Rules asking why action should not be taken against them for casting "aspersions against the integrity of the President and Judiciary". 

The above question is composed of a sentence copied almost entirely from an article in Hindustan Times by Sitaram Yechury. 

Personally, I do not have a strong opinion on death sentence but do oppose any kind of restriction on speech even is speech is full of hatred against a person or community, endangers social harmony, poses law and order risk, threatens integrity and unity of a country, risks diplomatic relations of a country with others, or, even if the speech is equivalent of shouting FIRE in a crowded theater.
