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.

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