The Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear on Monday a plea by leading Bollywood producers seeking to restrain Republic TV and Times Now from making alleged “irresponsible, derogatory and defamatory remarks" against the film industry and conducting "media trials" against its members on various issues.

Justice Rajiv Shakdher, who had earlier issued notices to media houses AGR Outlier Media Pvt Ltd and Bennett Coleman and Company Ltd, has directed them to ensure that no defamatory content will be uploaded on social media platforms or displayed on their channels.
