A Delhi court on Thursday lifted the gag order imposed by a civil court restraining journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta from reporting on Adani.

District judge Sunil Chaudhary said that Thakurta will not be bound to follow the gag order till the senior civil judge hears him and passes a fresh order.

The district judge asked the civil judge (trial court) to hear the case on September 26 at 2 PM.

"Needless to say that Ld. trial court while passing the fresh orders on the application under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 CPC will consider the principles of law settled qua the grant of interim injunction. The appeal is disposed off accordingly and the appellant will not be liable to follow the order dated 06.09.2025 till fresh orders are passed
