How civil society groups in Karnataka are fighting for Indian Constitution

Shivani Kava/ಶಿವಾನಿ On 27 April, he sought the police's help to implement the injunction. The court dismissed his plea.

because the said MP managed to get a gag order against media in June 2023. Even before a complaint or FIR was registered.

In case there is a confusion

The News Minute has appealed against many injunctions. We got relief on just one or two, cases simply drag on. Let me repeat- this makes life toughter for us.

BJP warned about Prajwal Revanna videos months ago, still gave him Hassan ticket. A BJP leader from Hassan had written to the party warning about the videos in December itself thenewsminute.com/karnataka/bjp-… #

For example. A gag was granted when someone told court that media cannot use the word Kundapura when reporting about frauds by BJP member Chaitra Kundapura as it will defame the place. The Hindu now calls her Chaitra K

Dhanya Rajendran Shivani Kava/ಶಿವಾನಿ Wow, quite an exhaustive, eye-opening piece on misusing courts for gag orders, 'pioneered' by Rajeev Chandrasekhar. Judicial excess seems to be a rather mild description - more like brazen judicial unprofessionalism/non-application of mind.

Personally, I had decided to file a PIL against this and my lawyers have been drawing up the petition. Two big media houses may join the petition. Let’s see

This isn’t easy and the courts aren’t making it any easier. Running around in courts, and hiring lawyers is what we are left to do. Read the story, understand the depth of the issue. Become a subscriber and support

A few years ago we had info on a #MeToo case, man got a gag order. But we published story with facts and faced a contempt of court case. Last year, a Dalit man died after his colleagues in a big company allegedly harassed him. We reported it despite a gag order and face two cases

Now back to the courts. I have been saying for years that what is happening in Bengaluru is RIDICULOUS. The Karnataka High Court has to put a stop to this. Now you may ask, why can’t the media ignore the gag order. I can tell you TNM’s case

could not report it. I don’t understand what stopped the BJP from giving him ticket or what stopped Congress govt from giving victims courage to file complaint. These women got no help and their non-blurred videos are all over. 3 attempted suicide is what I was told

Let me give you a comparison. The Hindu newspaper has zero suits against it in Chennai courts in the last three years, but has 199 in Bengaluru. Everyone is going to court and getting gag orders. So in Prajwal’s case there was a gag order and no FIR or complaint. Most media
