Krishna Kishore Singh vs Sarla A Saraogi & Ors. on 10 June, 2021
29. The Court does not find merit in the contention of the Plaintiff
seeking restraint on the strength of his right to fair trial. Plaintiff asserts that
since he is the complainant in the FIR, he is entitled to a fair trial relating to
the unnatural death of his son. He has relied upon the order of High Court of
Bombay in the PIL in Nilesh Navalakha (supra), to contend that it is the
duty of all media houses to protect the right to fair trial, and in case of
competing interest between right to fair trial and right to free speech, the
former should be given importance.
