right to report act 2013 Media can report open court proceedings

Media can report open court proceedings

Media has the right to report proceedings in open courts, the Kerala high court said on Monday.

A committee consisting of all the judges of the high court had earlier decided that reporting of open court proceedings need not be allowed. 

Justice Sankaran said media can report proceedings in open court and there is no ban on it.

The clarification by a division bench comprising of Justice K T Sankaran and Justice M L Joseph Francis was along with ending proceedings related to contempt of court action against Times of India for a report based on open court proceedings.
