The contention of Shri Acharya that the right to protection of the reputation of the appellant is a fundamental right and in the face of his reputation being tarnished, he would be entitled t o invoke the jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, while seeking to draw inspiration from the decision of the case in State of Bihar v. Lal Krishna Advani, (2003)8 SCC 361, is also not tenable. In the said decision, the apex court has held that certain remarks touching upon the reputation of Mr.L.K.Advani recorded by the Commission of Enquiry without affording an opportunity to Mr.L.K.Advani would violate fundamental rights of Mr.L.K.Advani. The Supreme Court has confirmed the order of the High Court that the objectionable points of the report shall be inoperative.
