"You cannot file a PIL for an individual.”
The Delhi High Court on Friday declined to entertain a plea to restrain the media from 'sensationalising' the trial of wrestler and Olympic in connection with the death of a 23-year old man, and seeking rules for reporting criminal cases, saying a PIL cannot be filed for an individual who is a "vigilant person". A bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh said the petition has been filed on behalf of a "vigilant person" – Kumar – claiming that media has defamed him by its reportage of the murder case in which he is an accused. "You cannot file a PIL for an individual. We see no reason to entertain litigation on behalf of a vigilant person," the court said and disposed of the plea by a law student.
