NEW DELHI, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Australian apex court has directed a news organisation to remove all sensitive data related to Scorpene submarines from its website and stop from publishing further information on the project, India's state-run broadcaster All India Radio (AIR) said Tuesday.
"The temporary order expires on Thursday as the Australian Supreme Court is set to hear the case on Sept. 1," the broadcaster said.
French shipbuilder DCNS has approached Australian court seeking an injunction against news website "The Australian" over the publication of data related to Scorpene submarines.
Last week, "The Australian" uploaded data pertaining to India's Scorpene submarines. The data leak revealed the detailed information about the combat capability and operating instructions of underwater warfare system of the six Scorpene submarines being built by DCNS in India.
The massive data leak of more than 22,000 classified pages has hit the DCNS.
