The Delhi High Court on Friday declined to entertain a plea to restrain the media from ''sensationalising'' the trial of wrestler and Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar in connection with the death of a 23-year old man, and seeking rules for reporting criminal cases, saying a PIL cannot be filed for an individual who is a "vigilant person".

A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh said the petition has been filed on behalf of a "vigilant person" - Kumar - claiming that media has defamed him by its reportage of the murder case in which he is an accused.
