The Delhi High Court has imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on a man who wanted a gag order against two newspapers while claiming that their reports mentioning his name could adversely impact the cases filed by him in different fora, LiveLaw reported.
Justice Subramonium Prasad dismissed the plea moved by Ajay Kumar seeking direction to the Hindustan Times and Dainik Jagran to conceal his identity while circulating any news or article on him. The court reportedly junked the plea while observing that it is nothing but abuse of the process of law.
