K.M. Mathew vs State Of Kerala And Anr on 19 November, 1991

15. The decision rendered in the case of K.M.Mathew Vs. State of Kerala and another (1992-1-SCC-217), is relating to prosecution of the Chief Editor for certain publication in the Newspaper. His case was dropped by the Magistrate on the ground that it has not been alleged in the complaint that the Chief Editor was responsible for selection of the news item and the publication thereof. There was no averment in the complaint that the Chief Editor had perused the material or edited before its publication or otherwise it was published with his knowledge or consent. When the matter went to the High Court, it quashed the order of the Magistrate on the ground that it was a summons case and the Magistrate had no power after taking cognizance of the offence to drop the proceedings. On appeal to the Honourable Supreme Court, the Supreme Court found that the High Court had been too technical in this regard and on facts found that there was no averment against the Chief Editor, except the motive attributed to him. The Honourable Supreme Court rejected the contention that there was a presumption under Section 7 of the Press and Registration of Books Act against the Chief Editor and reiterated that the Chief Editor's name was not at all mentioned in Section 7 of the said Act.
