Supreme Court of India warns against ex-parte injunctions of news articles, setting aside trial court order against Bloomberg.
The Supreme Court of India has cautioned against granting ex-parte injunctions against the publication of news articles, stating that it may have severe ramifications for freedom of speech and the public's right to know. The court set aside a trial court's order directing international media group Bloomberg to take down an allegedly defamatory news article against Zee Entertainment. The top court emphasized that injunctions against the publication of material should be granted only after a full-fledged trial, not before.
