The Delhi High Court on 2nd April has rejected Jindal’s plea to restrain Zee News. The High Court Justice VK Shali while disposing the plea said that, he and his company, Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL), have not been able to satisfy that they have got prima facie good case.
The court, however, directed Zee News to follow the guidelines of the News Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA), as per which they would be required to obtain the views of Jindal and JSPL in case they intend to televise any programme pertaining to him or his companies.
Justice Shali also said that to restrain Zee at this stage from pre-telecasting its programme or news ‘would not only be gagging the right to freedom of press but also gagging of the public to know about a candidate’ who is to be elected.
