The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 11 Apr 2019The Supreme Court’s decision to review its earlier Rafale judgment offers an endorsement of the rights of a free press, and removes the threat of using the Official Secrets Act (OSA) against news organisations that publish material covered by the OSA. The verdict rubbishes the Attorney General’s indignant protests against use by journalists of ‘stolen’ documents and puts the public interest and freedom of speech above technical objections. The judgment is an instance of the constitutional mechanism for checks and balances at work. This is a notable victory for democracy and its integral part and support system, the free press.
The verdict is a setback for the government that has been claiming that the highest court of the land has cleared the Rafale deal. The court has not formally initiated a review of its earlier verdict and only dismissed objections to a review.
