About — S. R. Batra v. Election Commission
S. R. Batra v. Election Commission (2005) is a Supreme Court judgment that upheld the ban on publishing exit‑polls and opinion surveys before the conclusion of voting, deeming it a reasonable restriction on free speech to ensure fair elections. The ruling affirmed the Election Commission’s authority to regulate media during campaigns, exemplified by the prohibition of pre‑poll results on television.
