Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge HA Mohan, however, made it clear that the media was not totally restrained from publishing or telecasting news in relation to the case.
“It is ordered that, the defendants are temporarily restrained from publishing any news item by falsely depicting the plaintiffs, by showing their marping photos, without any substantive evidence against them, with an intention to unnecessarily tarnishing their image and reputation in the public at large, till next date of hearing. However, it is made clear that the defendants are not totally restrained from publishing, telecasting any news, if they think that, truth is their defence, and they have substantial piece of evidence to defend themselves,” the Court said.
