The defamation notice sent by the Adani Group to the Economic and Political Weekly is still a notice, not a case filed against the publication. The take-down of the two articles ordered by the EPW board may have been done to pre-empt a full blown legal suit. The notice is also against The Wire which published one of the articles. The Wire has subsequently reprinted the second one published in EPW in June 2017 as well. Apparently this is the first time the Adani Group has initiated legal proceedings against a media house.
