New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted interim relief to the Punjab Kesari Group of newspapers, restraining the Punjab government from taking any coercive action against the group’s printing press.
According to a report by Live Law, the apex court passed the order while the matter is still pending before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Supreme Court directed that the printing press of the publication shall be allowed to function uninterruptedly, subject to the final verdict of the High Court.
The court further clarified that the interim protection will remain in force until the High Court pronounces its judgment and for one additional week thereafter, enabling the parties to explore and seek appropriate appellate remedies, if required.
The interim relief provides temporary respite to the Punjab Kesari Group amid the ongoing legal proceedings related to the dispute with the state government.
