NewsClick founder and editor-in-chief Prabir Purkayastha and HR head Amit Chakravarty had filed pleas challenging their arrest and remand and the FIR against them in an Unlawful Activities Prevention Act case.
The plea had sought audio description, subtitles, and captioning in Hindi for the OTT release of Pathaan allowing persons with hearing and visual disabilities to access the film.
A division bench of Justice Rajiv Shakdher and Justice Girish Kathpalia observed that it was high time that such government officials were taken to task and penalised to recompense the exchequer.
The Delhi High Court on Monday issued a notice to Yasin Malik, chief of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) over the NIA s plea seeking his death penalty in a terror funding case.
