Supreme Court directs Union to frame guidelines for search and seizure of digital devices by investigative agencies

DESK BRIEF: Recently, it seems that the prescriptive aspect of Article 19 is only a poetic indulgence when faced with media rights

The Supreme Court quashed the broadcast ban placed on MediaOne TV and cautioned the Union against sealed cover submissions.

DESK BRIEF: The intended impact of the SC's relatively ambiguous Order remains unclear. 

A three-Judge Bench stayed the Malayalam channel's ban, permitting it to resume operations until the Court reaches a final verdict.

Amidst concerns of national security, the Supreme Court shall next hear the challenge to MediaOne TV's ban on March 15th.

We covered cases the SC heard in December, reviewed the key judgments of 2021, and engaged with the cases that the Court will hear in 2022.

The Supreme Court in 2022 is poised to address key questions on reservations, terror, and freedom of the press.

We review the SC's most significant judgments in 2021.

The Court recognised that press freedom and privacy were allies and that the fear of surveillance is an ‘assault’ on the press.

The Supreme Court addressed a plethora of possible threats to the freedom of speech and expression of the press this year.
