Conclusion
Media is an important pillar of democracy. Any effort to restrict the freedom and independence of journalists would amount to shaking the foundation of democracy. No doubt security of the nation is of prime importance and can be the infused as a reasonable restriction in the freedoms enjoyed by media. But it is the duty of the courts to determine whether the restriction is fair, just and reasonable.
Verifying, please be patient.
