NEW DELHI: Supreme Court said on Wednesday that a court could not direct media houses to take down any report of court proceedings even if the judge did not like it, and such order could be passed only after coming to the prima facie finding that the report was contemptuous.
The court was hearing a plea filed by Wikimedia challenging a Delhi HC order directing it to take down a page on proceedings in HC. Referring to itself, the bench said it was criticised every day as someone said it was "insensitive" while another said it had "preconceived notions" but the "shoulder is broad enough to face such criticism" and it did not affect them.
