Delhi High Court quashes NewsClick cases, cites abuse of law and weak evidence
Delhi High Court has quashed complaints lodged against NewsClick and its founder Prabir Purkayastha by Delhi police and the Enforcement Directorate over allegations of foreign funding violations, pointing to “gross abuse of the law”.
Justice Neena Bansal Krishna said “the manner in which the investigations have been conducted clearly shows that the same is a fishing and roving exercise in the financial affairs of the news portal and its founder without the existence of any offence”.
