SC stayed sentence of Mid Day journalists
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the four months sentence imposed on four journalists of “Mid-Day” for their alleged contemptuous reports against former Chief Justice of India Y K Sabharwal.
The apex court, however, rejected the impleadment application moved by 27 prominent citizens seeking an opportunity to be heard in the matter.
A bench of justices Arijit Pasayat and P Sathasivam admitted the appeal filed by the daily against the September 21 conviction imposed by the Delhi High Court.
The apex court, while rejecting the intervention application, asserted that the applicants had no locus standi as the question was restricted to whether the journalists had committed contempt or not.
