Senior journalists of Patna today urged the Patna High Court to "reconsider and revoke" its August 23 order restraining the media from reporting the investigation into the Muzaffarpur shelter home abuse case.
It was because of media reports that abuse of inmates of the Muzaffarpur shelter home had come to the notice of all and even the Supreme Court had taken cognizance of it, a statement signed by senior journalists of prominent houses of both print and electronic media said.
In the statement, the scribes urged the HC "to reconsider and revoke its decision to uphold the principles of free media in a democracy and allow media to report on the ongoing investigation related with the Muzaffarpur shelter home case."
