[icernet] Curbs on media in Karnataka

[Arul Selvan]

  The Editors Guild today appealed to the Supreme Court to “intervene 
without delay” in the Karnataka High Court’s reported move to put curbs 
on the media to report on the activities of some judges under the 
provision of the Contempt of Courts Act.

In a statement here, the Guild President, Mr Hari Jaisingh, who is also 
the Editor of The Tribune, said the reported move of the Karnataka High 
Court under the “antiquated” Contempt of Courts Act was “unfortunate and 
uncalled for” and appealed to the Karnataka High Court to “review its 
decision and allow the media to function freely and fearlessly.”
