New Delhi, Sept. 19 -- A Delhi court has set aside a judicial order that barred several journalists and activists from publishing reports allegedly defaming the Adani Group, holding that the restraint was passed without hearing the affected parties.
"The court of civil judge ought to have granted a hearing before passing the order..." the Rohini Court said. A parallel challenge to the same injunction filed by senior journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta was also heard separately on Thursday. While not immediately staying the injunction, the court observed that such an order could not be passed without first declaring the articles defamatory.P10
