Bombay HC asks Sr Adv Milind Sathe (for petitioner): Have you made any application (complaint) before News Broadcasting Standards Authority?

This is not a statutory body. They may not be amendable under Article 32. Please decide the larger issues in the case, Sathe urges Court

They should first approach the Press Council and other authorities. Let them look into the matter first: ASG Anil C Singh urges the Court.

Bombay HC starts dictating order.

On September 3, a coordinate Bench had asked the respondents to file their reply affidavits. It was also expected to exercise restraint in regard to reporting of investigation in a manner that could hamper or prejudice the ongoing investigation...: Court records

We find that none of the Media Groups are respondents in one of the criminal PILs filed in the matter.

All these media groups have been directed to be impleaded in the matter without any delay.
