The Delhi High Court would on September 25 consider the pleas of digital news platform Newslaundry and senior journalist Ravish Kumar challenging the Centre's purported direction asking digital news publishers to take down multiple reports and videos concerning Adani Group of Companies. Justice Sachin Datta on Monday set the date after hearing the matter briefly.

"This present petition is only on power of the government to enforce an order passed inter-parte between two private people where I am not..," the counsel said. Meanwhile, the counsel representing the central government, said the Centre "communicated" the order passed by the court, and did not pass any order.
