The Supreme
Court on Friday rejected the plea made by advocate M L Sharma to stop the media
from reporting on the Adani-Hindenburg issue till the court announces its
order,
"We are not going to issue any injunction ever
against the media", the Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud told
Sharma. Earlier, Sharma filed a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking an
investigation against Hindenburg Research.
He told the court that the media was creating a
"sensation". CJI Chandrachud replied, "make a
reasonable argument, not for an injunction to the media".
Last week, SC had reserved orders on constituting an
expert committee to review the regulatory mechanism in India to protect the
investors. Chandrachud also said that the court would pass the orders shortly.
The bench headed by CJI also rejected the
Centre's offer to provide the names in a sealed cover.
"We will select the experts and maintain full
transparency. If we take names from the government, it would amount to a
government-constituted committee. There has to be full (public) confidence in
the committee," the CJI said.
