KCR govt persists against Outlook

IN Media Watch Briefs | 03/01/2016

Outlook magazine is not totally out of the woods in the  defamation case filed against it for an item on an IAS officer in the CM's office in Telangana. Even as the Hyderabad high court quashed the case against it calling it  an "abuse of legal process", the Telangana government got a  defamation case filed against the Outlook team in the metropolitan sessions judge court last week,  under section 199 (2) of the CrPC which allows the state to file such cases through its public prosecutor, says TOI.
