BENGALURU: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain a petition challenging the gag order issued by a Bengaluru local court, which directed the media not to publish any defamatory content against the family managing the Sri Manjunatha Swamy temple or the temple itself in connection with the mass grave burial case.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, and Justices K. Vinod Chandran and Joymala Bagchi passed the order, stating that the matter should first be heard by the High Court.
