New Delhi: Former Haryana minister Gopal Goyal Kanda today moved the Delhi High Court seeking a ban on reporting in the airhostess Geetika Sharma suicide case trial, saying some of the stories are "prejudicial" in nature.
The counsel for Kanda cited two news reports before a bench of Justice V P Vaish to allege that grave prejudice is being caused to him as these (reports) are scandalous and false in nature.
He also cited various apex court judgements and said the reporting, pertaining to the trial in the case, be stopped temporarily.
The court, which had reserved its order on another plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Kanda by a trial court, said it will pronounce the verdict on the fresh plea of the accused on May 26.
Delhi Police, however, opposed Kanda's plea seeking a ban on reporting saying the state has no role in such coverage.
