The Manipur Legislative Assembly Proceedings (Protection of Publication) Act, 1976

General19764 sections

This law protects individuals and media organizations from civil or criminal legal liability when publishing or broadcasting accurate reports of the Manipur Legislative Assembly proceedings. It applies across the State of Manipur to newspapers, news agencies, and radio or wireless broadcasting stations. Under this law, honest reporting of Assembly discussions is shielded from lawsuits, provided the reports are substantially true, made without malicious intent, and published for the public good. This regulation matters because it safeguards freedom of the press and ensures the public remains informed about state legislative debates, government actions, and policy decisions without fear of legal retaliation.
