So what does fop mean Case laws (supreme court rulings)

Cases decided, fop clarified Indian Express Newspapers v. Union of India- fop not found in constitution but is present in the larger guarantee of freedom of speech and expression. It means no interference by the state in the affairs of the press Printers (Mysore) Ltd. v. Asst.

More cases Brij Bhushan v. State of Delhi – pre- censorship is invalidated. Newspaper can publish its views and the views of its correspondents on burning issues Express Newspapers v. Union of India- Working journalists act valid under reasonable restrictions on Art 19(1)(a)- newspapers not immune to taxes and other laws of industrial relations

Still more Sakal Paper Ltd. v. Union of India- state cannot impose restriction on price and number of pages or where the newspaper should be sold- invalidated the Price and Page Act, 1960 Bennet Colman and Co. v. Union of India- Newsprint policy of the government was struck down as it imposed restrictions on the circulation- financial viability at stake
