The Election Commission said it was unanimous that there should not be any prayer before the Supreme Court for restriction on media reporting.
The Election Commission on Wednesday said it was unanimous that there should not be any prayer before the Supreme Court for restriction on media reporting over oral observations made by judges. The Commission was responding to a news report that the poll panel's plea in the Madras High Court to gag the media from reporting oral observations of judges and its subsequent Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court against the high court's "murder charges" remark were not unanimously approved by the poll panel. A senior functionary said the EC had moved the top court against the oral observations made by the Madras High Court.More Related News
