  • Assuming a channel is putting out videos [of court proceedings], they might be committing contempt. But if they are adding something that you have not spoken, or they attribute something to the Bench that we had never said… That would be a more offending situation because then they are indulging in a criminal activity.

  • First take the necessary steps for takedown orders under the IT Act. If the takedown orders are not complied with, then you come to us. Exhaust your statutory remedies first
