As per Legal experts, Lower Court’s April 27,2019 order is found to be legally full of errors and illegal as per IT Act 2000, 69A.

On behalf of TIWN Editor Saumen Sarkar, Advocates Mr Arindam Bhattacharjee, Advocate Biplab Mandal contested against State Govt legal team led by Special PP Ratan Datta in West Tripura Sessions Court.

Addl Sessions Judge Mr Ravi Dahiya wrote in order that Lower Court Justice passed earlier order in mechanical manner.
