Published by Webster

The trial judge needed to have analysed why such an ex parte injunction was essential, top court said. New Delhi: Courts should not grant ex-parte injunctions against publication of a news article barring in exceptional cases as it may have severe ramifications for the right to freedom of speech of the author and the public’s right to know, the Supreme Court has said.

India’s Zee denied the allegations in a letter to Sony, also reviewed by Reuters, and accused the Japanese company of “bad faith” in calling off the merger. A Zee-Sony merger in India would have created a media powerhouse in the world’s most populous nation with 90-plus channels across sports, entertainment and news. But Sony terminated the plans on Jan. 22, saying in a statement it was doing so because “closing conditions” were not satisfied after two years of negotiations. Neither Sony nor Zee made the contents of the termination notice public. Reviewed by Reuters, Sony’s notice said Zee had “failed to take commercially reasonable” efforts to meet some financial thresholds, including with regards to cash availability, while a “lack of commercial prudence” by the Indian network contributed to its decision. …
