Journalist sent to six months imprisonment
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Jodhpur: The Rajasthan high court sentenced a journalist of a Jaipur-based newspaper to six months’ imprisonment and imposed a penalty of Rs 50,000 each on the owner of the newspaper, editor and its Sikar correspondent for wrong reporting in a criminal case.
While hearing a contempt petition, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Amitava Roy and Justice Mahendra Maheshwari, ordered that if the amount is not deposited in 2 weeks, the three will have to
serve one month imprisonment.
According to additional advocate general GR Punia, the Churu correspondent of a vernacular newspaper had reported on October 10, 2011 that the CJM of Churu had sent a criminal under judicial custody instead of police study after accepting bribe. “The CJM issued notices to the concerned persons and referred the matter to the high court as criminal contempt,” said Punia.
