#Delhi High Court is hearing a petition by actor #RakulPreetSingh against tirade of charges against & 'fake news' against her.

Her lawyer submits she was called as a witness by #NCB & didn't implicate anyone.
"I am a non-smoker, a teetotaller, never did drugs. I have been replaced in a short film because of all this. My reputation is in tatters. All news channels are airing unsubstantiated charges": #RakulPreetSingh to High Court.
ASG Chetan Sharma, for Govt, says she is not an accused as on date & he sympathises with her. "But any observations by this court at this juncture may have a ripple effect. This is a sensitive case."

But HC tells him there has to be some balance, I&B should question channels.
HC to Govt: "You can't simply say this is a sensitive matter so we won't do anything. Go on with your investigation but ask channels too. I can see 3 reports on record which are completely derogatory. You must do something."
HC issues formal notices to I&B Min, News Broadcasters'Assocn, etc, & asks for action taken reports.

#CJI enquires if the two women are online.

Rohatgi says the women are connected online and are willing to make a statement right away.

The bench waits for the women to appear online.

Of 527 pages on acquittal of Tarun Tejpal, #Goa judge Kshama M Joshi has used around 400 pages, dissecting testimony of the complainant in arriving at how an 'educated journalist' should've known whether she 'pulled up' her underwear or 'picked up'.
Goa court scans the complainant's phone & messages to note that "it was entirely the norm" for her to have flirtatious relationships & sexual conversations with friends & acquaintances.
Since she refused to give access to her email citing concerns of privacy when her phone details had already been used to humiliate her over her personal details, #Goa judge holds that she "wants to hide something."
