On Thursday (14th November), Canada’s Ontario court ordered a total ban on the publication of information pertaining to the trial of wanted Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla, reported Times Now.
The development came after the Modi government sought the fugitive’s extradition, prompting Canadian counsels to seek a ban on media coverage of the Arsh Dalla case under Section 517 CrPC of Canadian law.
The gag order passed by the court prohibits the publication and transmission of court proceedings, either through broadcast or electronically.
