Matter before Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli.

Sr Adv Dushyant Dave: Two important questions here ...

Bench discusses.

#SupremeCourt #mediaone

Dave: Far reaching questions, freedom of press at the centre of the controversy. Other is the scope and ambit of the power to grant or refuse uplinking permission. Does the Centre have unbridled power in this regard, if that power is applied with general principles of law.
