Bombay High Court on Friday noted that passing a blanket gag order on the media against reporting anything against Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, wife of arrested businessman Raj Kundra, shall have a "chilling effect on the freedom of press" and said there is a judicial limit on what can be construed as good or bad journalism. The court noted that the freedom of press has to be balanced with the right to privacy of an individual.
