The Civil Court has registered a lawsuit filed by Adhadhu seeking to overturn a decision barring its journalists from attending presidential press conferences.

The suit claims the exclusion violates constitutional guarantees of press freedom and the right to information. It follows an earlier incident in which a reporter was removed after asking a specific question.

Adhadhu has covered government actions extensively, including major projects and policy decisions. The case highlights ongoing tensions over media access.

No hearing date has been publicly announced. The government has not issued a detailed response to the filing.
