Unprecedented for a CM to accuse EGI journos of provocation, SC told

Appearing on behalf of EGI journalists Seema Guha, Sanjay Kapoor, and Bharat Bhushan, senior advocate Shyam Divan told a bench of CJI D Y Chandrachud, Justices J B Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra that the FIRs violated free speech and cited orders courts had previously issued to protect people from arrest, including a woman advocate.
