HC sets aside local court's gag order against media houses
Telangana High Court had set aside a gag order passed by a local court here against some newspapers, TV channels, web portals and media organisations directing them not report any defamatory content against Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Limited company and its management. A bench of Justices T. Vinod Kumar and P. Sree Sudha, allowing a batch of three appeals filed by media organisations, said the trial court's ad-interim ex-parte injunction order was 'unreasoned'. The said order was contrary to the mandate under Civil Procedure Code and hence impermissible, the Division Bench said. While passing such direction without issuing notices to the opposite parties, the court should record reasons as to why such order should be passed. The trial court passed the order but did not specify the time within which the respondents can get it vacated. This had deprived the appellants' right to file counter affidavit, the Bench observed. The two-judge bench observed that gag orders should be scrutinized though they were meant to maintain the integrity of legal proceedings. The courts should ensure that such gag orders did not infringe upon the fundamental rights like the right to free speech. These rights can be curtailed only in accordance with Article 19(2) of the Constitution of India. Citing a Supreme Court verdict, the Division Bench noted that 'freedom of speech and expression was construed to include the freedom to circulate one's views by words of mouth or in writing or through audio-visual instrumentalities. This included the right to propagate one's views through the print media or any other communication channel like radio or television subject to reasonable restrictions. The Bench also noted that the company filed the suits for damages nearly a year after the publication of news. The company also suppressed the fact that it had filed another suit in a court at Khammam seeking similar relief. This amounted to clear abuse of the process of law, the verdict said. Since the gag order was passed without adhering to established legal principles, it cannot be sustained, the Bench said.

Kangana Ranaut Demands Release Of Social Media Influencer Sharmishta Panoli Amid Controversy Over Remarks Against Pakistan
Mumbai: Actress and Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut, who was recently seen in the biopic 'Emergency', has called for the release of social media influencer, Sharmishta Panoli. Sharmishta was booked by the Kolkata police after her allegedly controversial remarks against Pakistan. Kangana took to the Stories section of her Instagram, and shared a picture of Sharmishta. She also penned a note, as she said that the social media influencer has tendered an apology, and she should not be bullied by the authorities in West Bengal. She wrote, 'I agree that Sharmistha used some unpleasant words for her expression, but such words most youngsters use these days, she apologised for her statements and that should be enough, no need to bully and harass her further she should be released immediately'. Earlier, in a now deleted video, Sharmishta had criticised Bollywood actors for their silence on the Pahalgam terror attack and India's counter-terror strike, Operation Sindoor. As per media reports, Kolkata police has the FIR against the influencer under sections 196(1) (a) promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, caste, or community, 299 (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the religious feelings of any class of citizens), 352 ( intentional insult with the intent to provoke a breach of peace), 353(1)(c) (statements that incite public mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. India had launched Operation Sindoor after the cowardly terror attack, sponsored by Pakistan in Pahalgam where 26 civilians were gunned down in cold blood. Under Operation Sindoor, India attacked the 9 terror sites inside Pakistan. While India's earlier responses to terror attacks in Uri and Pulawama targetted to terrori sites in PoK and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, this time, India hit deep inside Pakistan's Punjab, which is the heartland of its hybrid leadership consisting of civil administration and Army rule. India's actions in Operation Sindoor were measured, precise and non-escalatory. India destroyed military infrastructure including 9 military bases in Pakistan in its response to Pakistan's indiscriminate bombing on civilians in India. While all the projectiles of Pakistan (most of which were developed by China except Fatah-II which also needs a Chinese launch vehicle) were neutralised by India's superior air-defence, India's counter-offensive inflicted deep wounds to Pakistan's leadership.
