Gujarat High Court Rejects Interim Release Plea of Journalist in Adani Defamation Case
The Gujarat High Court has rejected journalist Ravi Nair's plea for interim release in a criminal defamation case filed by Adani Enterprises, reserving its order until September 30. Nair was convicted earlier this year and sentenced to one year in prison, but his sentence was suspended pending appeal. He was taken back into custody after a non-bailable warrant was issued for his alleged failure to appear in court. Media bodies like DIGIPUB have expressed concern over his continued imprisonment, citing implications for press freedom and independent journalism.
