The court, however, did not allow independent foreign journalists to cover the court proceedings in the matter.
Justice Rajiv Shakdher gave the decision on a plea seeking permission for reporting the matter filed by the members of the Foreign Correspondents' Club through counsel Meenakshi Lekhi.
The foreign journalists had taken the plea that since publication of journals, magazines, newspapers for which they were reporting are permitted to be circulated in India and abroad and Press Information Bureau (PIB) also recognises them, they should be permitted to report about the trial in the gangrape case.
