Defamation cases have become tool to intimidate media,says HC

The Madras High Court has observed
Justice G R Swaminathan, who quashed the proceedings recently, said such "cases are used as tools to intimidate the media."
Observing mere minor inaccuracies in reporting cannot justify initiating prosecution proceedings,the judge said: "There can always be margin of error, though the permissible width of the margin will depend on facts and circumstances."
