On September 20, 2007, four journalists of Mid Day, including Resident Editor Vitusha Oberoi and City Editor MK Tayal, were sentenced to four months jail on contempt of court charges,[REF] because of a report they had filed on the ex-Chief Justice of India, Y. K. Sabharwal.
The High Court, however, sentenced the journalists without considering the veracity of the reports, and this led to considerable controversy [REF].
