Breaking: Delhi HC Issues Notice To NBSA,TimesNow & News18 On Disha Ravi's Plea Alleging Leakage Of Information To Media, Directs Police To File Affidavit

The Delhi High Court on Thursday issued notice on a plea filed by Activist Disha Ravi seeking to restrain Delhi Police from leaking any investigation material relating to the FIR filed against her in connection with the Toolkit case.
The High Court directed the Delhi Police to file a counter affidavit in the matter by tomorrow morning and also took on record Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's statement on behalf of Delhi Police that nothing has been leaked from their end.
"There has been no leakage from our side, we can also file an affidavit. Nothing is being shared. This is a call for media attention," the SG told the Bench.
Senior Advocate Amit Sibal appearing for Ravi insisted that it is the Delhi Police which leaked confidential information of the criminal case to the media.
"They can say whatever, but the facts speak otherwise. She was arrested on 13th, and material was seized by police… Media itself says that they have got records from police, how are they accessing these records?" Sibal submitted.
He added,
"This is a most unfortunate case where the media, in order to gain a few thousand TRPs, is trampling over the rights of the citizens.
A 22 year old has been arrested, and it's being called a call for media attention?"
In her plea, Ravi had also sought action against India Today, Times Now and News 18 for violative reporting in the Toolkit Case by allegedly running "one-sided" reports. The High Court has issued notice to NBSA, TimesNow and News18. India Today was represented in the Court.
Claiming that media houses, including Times Now, India Today and News 18 have published "one-sided defamatory, suggestive innuendos, and half-truths" about her in the Toolkit case, 22-year-old environment activist Disha Ravi who was arrested and sent for 5 days remand on allegations of involvement in the case earlier today had moved the Delhi High Court seeking to restrain Delhi Police from leaking any investigation material relating to the case filed against her by the PS Special Cell, including alleged contents of private chats/communication by her to any third party, including the media.
