A bench comprising Chief Justice P Sathasivam and Justice Ranjan Gogoi, however, gave the liberty to the 72-year-old jailed godman to approach the court again if he feels aggrieved of subsequent media coverage in the case and if the guidelines laid down by the court are not adhered to by media.

"After hearing the argument of the learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the publication and news coverage which are enclosed with the present petition as well as the ratio laid down in various decisions, we are of the view that for the present there is no need to entertain the writ petition," the bench said.
