Supreme Court refuses to restrain Gyanesh Kumar, cites news report limitation

The Supreme Court refused to issue a restraining order against Gyanesh Kumar, stating it cannot pass orders based solely on news reports. The bench made clear that while it would not intervene at this stage, any decision found to violate statutory requirements governing the Election Commission of India could subsequently be injuncted through appropriate legal channels.

The court's position underscores the need for formal petitions and documented evidence rather than media reports as a basis for judicial intervention in electoral matters.
