In a special hearing convened this morning, the Supreme Court issued notice in an urgent plea by journalist Vinod Dua seeking protection against coercive action in multiple FIRs. In a relief for Dua, however, the Court has said that he shall not be arrested till further orders.

The Court said that at this stage the investigation on the FIR cannot be stayed. However, the Apex Court directed the Himachal Pradesh Police may question the journalist at his residence and only after a prior notice of 24 hours.
