The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on 10 April 2012 directed the Union government of India and the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure that there is no reporting on movement of troops by the print or electronic media. Acting on a PIL, a bench comprising justices Uma Nath Singh and Virendra Kumar Dixit ruled that the issue of movement of army troops does not require public discussion at the cost of defence secrecy and the security of the country.
The court, however, dismissed the plea for a high-level probe into the report by a national daily alleging unusual movement of troops on the night of 16 January 2012, the day the Army Chief Gen VK Singh approached the Supreme Court on the issue of his date of Birth.
