Public Apology in Respect of Article Published on 2nd July & 16th Dec
The New Indian Express Mysuru|December 31, 2024
This public apology addresses inaccuracies in two articles published on July 2nd and December 16th, 2024, concerning a public interest litigation case.

The record straight by providing the true and correct facts, which, regrettably, we did not do. Had we done so neither Article 1 nor Article 2 would have been published.

We have, therefore, agreed to publish this unconditional apology along with the following Statement of Factual Corrections with respect to the Articles.

Article 1 and Article 2 refer to an alleged public interest litigation by one Pankaj Phadnis and contained brazenly false, unsubstantiated and incorrect statements.

The correct fact is that the alleged public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Mr Phadnis (dismissed by High Court on December 12, 2024) does not contain any of the allegations as asserted in both the Articles. Both the Articles were, therefore, clearly erroneous.
