New Delhi: The Supreme Court today issued notices to the Centre and Uttar Pradesh government on a petition seeking a direction to the media to maintain restraint in reporting sub judice cases like the Aarushi murder case.
A bench headed by Justice Altamas Kabir asked the Centre and the state government to assess whether there was a mechanism to put some retraint with regard to sub judice matters.
The bench sought response on a public interest petition filed by Surat Singh, a practising advocate, seeking a series of directions to protect the reputation of the family of Aarushi Talwar.
