Kerala High Court Expresses Displeasure Over Misleading Reports Regarding Chief Justice's Meeting With State Chief Minister, Issues Clarification

The Kerala High Court on Friday expressed its displeasure over misleading news reports regarding the meeting of Chief Justice S. Manikumar with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today.

Public Relations Officer of the high court said it has come to notice that a "Section of Visual Media" is telecasting the news and "creating reasons beyond comprehension, for the same".

"I am to convey the displeasure of the High Court of Kerala in telecasting a news item with fabricated interpretations of a false nature," the High Court PRO said in a press release. 

The PRO clarified that the Chief Justice met the Chief Minister only to invite him for the marriage of his daughter. 

"The aired news clip bears no semblance, whatsoever, with actual facts. Creating facts and assigning it to suitable circumstances do not stand in good stead towards the cause of fair reporting," the press release states.
