Media In India/elsewhere -3

[Capt M Kumar]

<!--emo&:argue--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/argue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='argue.gif' /><!--endemo--> Interestingly, it was the same Bench that issued notices last week to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, the Press Council of India and the television channels on a petition to formulate guidelines to regulate coverage of media on issues pending in courts. The notices were issued in the context of media reporting on Aarushi murder case holding the father guilty of murder, which later was held baseless by the CBI.

In the present case, Prasad had been accused of planning the sting along with Amit Jogi, son of Congress leader Ajit Jogi in 2005 to trap Judeo and gain political mileage. Prasad had earlier moved the Chhattisgarh High Court questioning the charges pending against him, but the same got dismissed.

Though the Bench disputed on sting operations, it agreed to issue notice on Prasad's petition seeking response from the State Government.
