High Court restrains media in Kavita Chaudhri murder case Allahabad, Jan 9: Amid reports that black-mailing led to killing of a Meerut lecturer, Kavita Chaudhari, the Allahabad High Court today restrained print and electronic media from advertising, publishing and broadcasting CDs, information and material relating to the case. The order was passed by a two-judge bench of Justices A K Yog and Prakash Krishna while hearing a writ petition filed by Merajuddin, ex-minister in the Uttar Pradesh government who had resigned from his post recently in the wake of the Kavita's killing. The court also directed the central and the state governments to restrain electronic and print media from publishing, broadcasting and releasing any such information. The petitioner had moved the court seeking direction to restrain the media from publishing or displaying recorded CDs as referred to in newspapers and bulletins of various TV channels linking him with Kavita. Granting four weeks time to the Union of India as well as the state government to file their counter affidavits and two weeks thereafter to the petitioner to file rejoinder, the court has ordered to list the case immediately thereafter for final disposal. --- PTI
