NEW DELHI: Expressing shock at media reports and demonstrations, dharnas and rallies organised against the entry of French ship, Clemenceau, the Supreme Court on Monday banned holding of protests and publication of articles one way or the other. A Bench consisting of Justices Arijit Pasayat and S.H. Kapadia said that holding demonstrations or writing articles "either pro or against or a middle line" during the pendency of proceedings would amount to prima facie contempt of court.
