(30) As already stated, freedom of Press is commonly understood as the freedom of expression of opinion, idea, views, information through the printed material and published for circulation; and free from interference, pressure, restraint or compulsion from whatever source, governmental or social, external or internal. The emerging conception of the freedom of Press has been summarised in the above quotation and was quoted with approval by the Supreme Court. The concept of freedom of Press as used and understood in section 12 of the Act is also of widest amplitude. As rightly pointed out by Dr. L. M. Singhvi, learned counsel appearing for Shri Verghese, widest meaning has to be assigned to the word 'Freedom of Press' in the Act. In our opinion "Limitation cannot be read in a provision of the Statute, if none is provided by the legislature. The courts cannot arbitrarily cut down the amplitude of an expression used by the legislature. Where the language of the section is plain, it is not open to read in limitations which are not there. To limit the meaning of freedom of Press in section 12 of the Act, by adding words or importing the concept of freedom of Press as understood in Article 19(l)(a) of the Constitution, alleged to be available only against the State action, would be defeating that legislative intent and laying down a different policy. The legislative purpose is clear from the preamble and section 12 of the Act that the Press Council is enjoined to preserve the freedom of Press, in whomsoever it vests and against whosoever infringes, be that State or public authority, legal or fictional person, individual or joint stock company. The interpretation suggested by the learned counsel for the petitioner that under section 12 of the Act the object of the Press Council is to preserve the freedom of Press against the State action only, would need the addition of the words "against the State action" in the section itself. This is not permissible for the courts have no power to add words if not used by the legislature. Press Council is to safeguard the Freedom of the Press against threats of its violation originating from any source whatsoever. It is the Press Council which must preserve the liberty of Press against insidious attempts constantly made to restrict, impinge upon or infringe it. But there is nothing in the Act or any intention of the legislature spelled out from the provisions of the Act to confine the jurisdiction of the Press Council against the State or State functionary. One of the functions entrusted to the Press Council is to help newspapers to maintain their independence. The independence of the newspapers can be jeopardised by any external pressure emanating from any source, be that the political parties, trade unions, advertisers, other newspapers or any other conceivable agency. Again under section 12(2)(e) the Press Council is to keep under review any development likely to restrict the supply and dissemination of news of public interests and importance. "Any development" sugest to restrict it to only as against State action. There is further built in guidance when we refer to the provisions of section 12(2)(f), under which the Press Council is called upon to keep under review cases of assistance received by any newspaper or news agency in India from any foreign source. Here the state or state functionary is not involved at all, yet the Press Council in furtherance of its objects is enjoined to perform the function to keep under review such cases."
