Today, On 25th July, The Delhi High Court rejected the request to stop the streaming of the Netflix documentary “To Kill a Tiger,” which depicts a family’s pursuit of justice for their 13-year-old gang-rape victim daughter. The court issued notices to the government, Netflix, and the director, seeking responses within four weeks to allegations of violating the minor’s identity protection laws.
The Delhi High Court criticized a lower court’s decision to discharge two individuals accused of child pornography involvement, citing procedural errors. A public interest litigation challenged the decision, leading the high court to convert it into a suo motu revision petition. The court ordered a reassessment of the evidence and appointed an advocate to assist. A notice was issued to the accused for explanation. The CBI decided not to appeal the lower court’s ruling. The High Court clarified that PIL is generally not entertained in criminal matters.
