The Punjab and Haryana High Court held that fair and accurate reporting of judicial orders pronounced in open court does not amount to contempt merely because the order remains unsigned, reaffirming the principles of open justice, press freedom, and transparency in judicial proceedings.
The Delhi High Court refused to restrict media coverage of the Dwarka SUV crash, emphasising that freedom of the press cannot be curbed. It said no court can issue a complete gag order unless a genuine grievance is established.
Today, On 23rd September, The Delhi Court has refused to transfer the Adani gag order appeal. Newslaundry and journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta will now be heard by the judge who had earlier set aside the stay for other journalists.
