Kerala HC Criticizes DC Books For Announcing Autobiography Of CPI(M)'s EP Jayarajan Without Consent, Grants Pre-Arrest Bail To Sr Dy Editor

Live Law  

The Kerala High Court on Monday expressed strong condemnation against DC Books, Kottayam for issuing a public notice regarding release of CPI Central Committee Member and former LDF Convenor EP Jayarajan's alleged autobiography, without his consent. The bench however "reluctantly" granted anticipatory bail to Sreekumar AV, the publication's Senior Deputy Editor, in view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Arnesh Kumar v State of Bihar and Another. The Court however said no offence is made out against media for carrying a news based on the notice issued by DC Books. Jayarajan claims he never entered into any agreement with DC Books for publishing his autobiography and that the title of the book was given without his consent.
