NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court stayed the four months sentence imposed on four journalists of "MidDay" for their alleged contemptuous reports against the former Chief Justice of India Y K Sabharwal.

A Bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and P Sathasivam admitted the appeal filed by the daily against the September 21 conviction imposed by the Delhi High Court.

Twenty-seven members of the civil society have moved the Supreme Court pleading that they be meted out the same punishment that might be awarded to the four MidDay journalists for their alleged scandalous reports against the former Chief Justice of India Y K Sabharawal.
