Order to keep published and broadcast news content in the same condition as it is
The 'special bench' comprising all the judges of the special court has directed that the contempt case filed against the publisher and editor of Drashti Weekly be kept as criminal costs.
The 6-member bench of the Special Court, including Chairman Teknarayan Kunwar and Judges Tejnarayan Singh Rai, Ram Bahadur Thapa, Muraribabu Shrestha, Ritendra Thapa and Vidur Koirala, has also ordered the newspaper's publisher Shambhulal Shrestha, editor MP Sumba and the correspondent to appear in the court within three days.
This is the first case of a bench of 6 judges including all the judges in the special court. Last Sunday, Drashti wrote the news saying that "the manipulation of the middleman in the special court did not go away, the setting case was acquitted in 3 months". The court administration filed a case against Drashti Weekly, its publisher, editor and correspondent for contempt of court by writing news in an Aadhaarhin manner.
Hearing on it, the bench consisting of 6 judges of the two special benches ordered to keep the case under criminal charges. If the case of contempt is kept in the criminal register, the punishment for it is of a criminal nature, for which the court has the facility to impose a prison sentence. In addition to the order to come to the court within three days, the court has also ordered that 'published and broadcast news content shall be kept in the same condition as it is'.
"Why shouldn't action and punishment be taken for contempt of this court according to the application/report demand?", the special order said, "If action and punishment should not be taken for contempt of this court, with the basis of reason and evidence, within three days from the date of receipt of this order and acceptance deadline, except for the time limit, and in the case of Drishti Media Pvt. In the case of Shrestha, MP Subba and the correspondents of related news, I will appear before this court to testify.'
