Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order directing the Government of India to restrict media reporting on troop movements, holding that the order was not in consonance with the prayers made in the writ petition. The Court emphasized that the High Court's directions were unrelated to the specific requests for an independent enquiry into news articles. The appeals were allowed, and the High Court's order was quashed without addressing other issues raised by the appellants.
