New Delhi, Nov 14: The Supreme Court today refused to interfere with a Mumbai High Court order under which Times Now news channel has been asked to deposit Rs 20 crore in cash and to give a bank guarantee of Rs 80 crore before its appeal against a trial court award of damages of Rs 100 crore to former apex court judge P B Sawant could be heard.
Justice Sawant had sued the news channel for displaying his photo wrongly during telecast of a news bulletin on September 10, 2008 on a Provident Fund scam allegedly involving a Calcutta High Court judge.
The report had mistakenly showed Justice Sawant’s photograph. On a defamation suit by Justice Sawant, the Pune district court had ordered the company to pay him Rs 100 crore as damages.
An apex court bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi refused to grant any relief to Times Global Broadcasting Company Ltd, the firm which owns the TV news channel, saying there is no error in the high court’s interim order.
