New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Thursday restricted "The Sunday Guardian", a weekly
newspaper, from republishing or recirculating the allegedly
"defamatory" article against NDTV television channel published Dec
5, 2010.
A bench of Justice Manmohan Singh directed M.J. Akbar, editor of
"The Sunday Guardian" and others against republishing or
recirculating the article which was alleged to have been published
to defame the New Delhi Television Ltd. (NDTV).
The bench said it restrained the defendants "...from (either
directly or indirectly) republishing or re-circulating the article
written on Dec 5, 2010, in any form or its internet website or in
physical form of newspaper or in a news item of the recent date
except the material which already stands published till date".
The court said the only remedy, if any, can be claimed in the form
of damages.
The court said: "It is seen from the record that the article
complained of was published on Dec 5, 2010, and thus, it can be
safely said whatever damage which has been alleged to have been
caused has already been caused during the passage of the time when
this article has remained under publication and the same shall be
relevant for the purposes of computation of damages, if any,
claimed by the plaintiff."
The court's direction came on a plea of NDTV claiming Rs.25 crore
damages for defaming it by publishing the article.
The TV channel in its plea submitted that the alleged article was
written and published with a view to defame it.
