"Let's have the benefit of reading the judgement," a bench of justices H L Dattu and C K Prasad said while refusing to pass any order on PCI's petition.
The bench was referring to the judgement reserved by a five-judge constitution bench on the framing of media guidelines.
On April 10, the high court had directed various Central and state government authorities "to ensure that there is no reporting/release of any news item by the print or electronic media, namely the movement of troops."
The directions were given to the Union Home secretary, the Information and Broadcasting secretary and the principal secretary (Home) of the Uttar Pradesh government.
The petition filed through PCI Chairman and former apex court judge Markandeya Katju's office, submitted that the order was in violation of the fundamental right under Article 19(1) (a) of the Constitution, granted to the media and every citizen of the country.
The high court order had come on a PIL filed by a social activist relating to a report in The Indian Express on April 4. The report pertained to purported movements of some army troops towards New Delhi.
