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.

Later, in accordance with the recommendations of the Press Commission, Press Council Act, 1965, was enacted. The experience of the system.....
