Mehrauli murder: Court disposes of Delhi Police’s plea against news channel

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A court on Thursday disposed of the Delhi Police’s application seeking a restraining order against Aaj Tak and other media channels from telecasting material related to the charge sheet in the Shraddha Walkar murder case, saying as the Delhi High Court is seized of the matter, it no longer has jurisdiction over it.
The sessions court on Thursday disposed of police’s plea seeking a restraining order to prevent news channels from utilising, in any form, any material related to the charge sheet in the murder case, where Aaftab Amin Poonawala is accused of strangling his live-in partner Walkar to death in the Mehrauli area, and then chopping her body into several pieces.
The Delhi Police had filed an application on April 10 and while dealing with it, Additional Sessions Judge Manisha Khurana Kakkar of the Saket Court Complex said that Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad had placed on record the Delhi High Court’s order dated April 19 directing media channels to not publish or broadcast any content belonging to the charge sheet in the case.

“In view of the aforesaid order placed on record on behalf of the state, since Delhi High Court is seized of the present matter, therefore, this court does not have jurisdiction to entertain the application any further. The application is hereby disposed of,” the judge said.
On April 17, the court had directed Aaj Tak news channel not to air the findings of the narco analysis and psychological evaluation done on Poonawala.
ASJ Kakkar had also granted the police liberty to approach a higher court for pursuing the remedy requested in their application for restraining news channels from airing or publishing any content related to the FIR registered in the case.
“The publication of the said document, especially the CCTV footage, can severely prejudice the right of fair trial of the accused as enshrined under Article 21 (protection to life and personal liberty) of the Constitution of India, and the channel cannot be allowed to telecast the content of the same so as to conduct a media trial,” Kakkar had said.
She also cited a Delhi High Court ruling of 2001 that said the media has no place in the administration of justice once the proceedings have begun. The court had then taken note of an undertaking by the news channel’s lawyer that it would not broadcast, publish, or otherwise make available the contents of the voice layered test, narco analysis, or conversation captured on Dr. Practo’s App, for the following three days.

“You (Delhi Police) might also approach the constitutional court and exercise your remedy. You need an order that will help you with other channels also. It would be in your favour to get an order from a higher court,” the judge had said.
SPP Prasad had claimed that because digital content is sensitive by nature, broadcasting it would jeopardise the accused’s right to a fair trial in addition to having an adverse effect on law and order.
On April 10, the prosecution had claimed that such telecast would be damaging, not only for the case, but will also impact the accused and the family members of the victim.

Kerala HC seeks police’s stand on Asianet plea claiming harassment by the force

[ad_1]
Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Tuesday sought the stand of the police on a plea by prominent Malayalam news channel Asianet, which has alleged harassment by the force in connection with some anti-drug use news it had telecasted.
Justice N Nagaresh, after a preliminary hearing of the matter, directed the State police chief and other officials to inform the court about their stand regarding the allegations made in the petition of the channel.
The court also asked the news channel to file a separate affidavit regarding the harassment allegedly faced by it the police after it filed the petition last Friday.

Asianet, in its plea, has alleged that the news organisation and its employees were being harassed for having launched a campaign against drug abuse in the state, particularly among children.
It has alleged that the police was “acting in accordance with their political masters” and its employees “are being harassed, ill-treated and humiliated” by the force despite the court’s earlier orders to provide protection to the channel’s offices.
In its plea, it has said that after noticing the alarming spike in drug use among children, it decided to conduct a study and research on the issue, following which it published an interview with a victim of drug abuse.
Thereafter, in November last year, it began a campaign, ‘Narcotics is a dirty business’, coinciding with the state government’s efforts to fight drug abuse in Kerala, the petition has claimed.
As part of its news series on the issue, “one of the earlier news stories regarding drug abuse by children was revisited using file shots,” it has said.

“Pursuant to the telecast of the series against the abuse of narcotic drugs, on March 3 a group of nearly 30 SFI activists violently and forcefully trespassed into the office and studio floor of the news channel’s Kochi regional office, shouting slogans, and intimidated the staff..,” it has further claimed.
A case was registered by police against identifiable SFI activists and some were arrested and released on bail, it has said.
Subsequently, Asianet had moved the High Court seeking protection against any violent attack, the petition has said.
The court had on March 8 directed the police to provide adequate protection to offices of Asianet.
Regarding the SFI’s trespassing into Asianet’s Kochi office, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had said in the State Assembly that the pro-left student wing had organised a protest march to the channel’s office against the making of an allegedly fake video using a minor girl.
The video content amounted to spreading the misapprehension that government schools in the state were in the grip of drugs, the CM had said.
