Journalist Ravish Kumar Moves to Delhi HC Challenging Government Order to Remove Adani Videos

Journalist Ravish Kumar has moved to the Delhi High Court, challenging a Central government directive to remove videos of the Adani Group from his YouTube channel.

He argues that the order is an "unprecedented and unconstitutional" exercise of executive power that attacks press freedom.

The government's directive was issued to comply with a civil court's order in a defamation suit filed by Adani Enterprises. Kumar's plea states that the government cannot act as an enforcer of a private civil dispute.

The case raises crucial questions about press freedom, governmental overreach, and the separation of powers. The matter is scheduled to be heard by Justice Sachin Datta.
