HARBHAJAN SINGH vs PRESS COUNCIL OF INDIA .

The case concerns the interpretation of Section 6(7) of the Press Council Act, 1978, regarding the maximum number of terms a member can be nominated to the Council. The core legal issue is whether a person who has already served two terms is ineligible for further nomination even if they are not a retiring member at the time of nomination. The court examines whether the statute imposes an absolute lifetime limit of two terms on membership.
