The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a plea which sought a media gag order on the issue of murder accused Malayali nurse Nimisha Priya, who is currently on death row in Yemen.
"I am not responsible if something happens to Nimisha Priya", said evangelist Dr K.A. Paul, who had filed the plea due to what he called "unverified public statements" that the media had made on the case, as per a Live Law post on X.
It added that Paul had been in touch with Nimisha Priya's family and wanted an order against media reports.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta refused to allow Paul's petition, in view of a statement by the Union that it would address the media reports issue.
