High Court Stays FIR Proceedings Against RTI Activist and Journalists Over CM Helicopter Post

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed further investigation into an FIR against an RTI activist and three journalists. The FIR was registered over a social media post questioning the use of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's official helicopter on December 8, 2025, while he was abroad. Petitioners claim the post, sourced from public flight-tracking data, raised a bona fide public query about resource use. The court issued a notice to the Punjab government, with a returnable date of February 23.
