Prevention of Publication of Objectionable Matter Act, 1976 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1976

.....Objects and Reasons-A publication in print has a more lasting and widespread effect than other forms of communication. Press (Objectionable Matter) Act, 1951 was enacted to penalise the abuse of the freedom of the press by publication of matter involving encouragement of violence or sabotage or incitement to certain other very grave offences. The Press Commission which submitted its Report in 1954 accepted the possibility of existence of irresponsible elements who needed to be curbed through special legal measures. The Commission recommended the setting up of a Press Council which would, inter alia, safeguard the liberty of the press and evolve and maintain standards of jourrtalistic ethics. The Commission hoped that as the Press Council "grows in strength and prestige the necessity of having resort to such measures as the Press (Objec- tionable Matter) Act will gradually disappear". In the hope that the press would evolve its own internal control. Government allowed Press (Objectionable Matter) Act, 1951, to expire on the 1st February, 1956. Later, in accordance with the recommendations of the Press Commission, Press Council Act, 1965, was enacted. The experience of the system.....
