Only PM, President, Chief Justice Can Feature in Government Ads, Says Supreme Court | Read

The Supreme Court has today said that government ads can feature pictures of only the Prime Minister, the President, and the Chief Justice of India, but said, "Even these three personalities will have to approve whether their photos will be there." The verdict applies to the frequent ads that are placed by the centre and state governments to publicize schemes. "Photos have the potential of developing personality cult," said the top court, clarifying that party symbols and flags cannot be used in ads.
