NEW DELHI: The Indian government is filing a caveat in the Delhi and Andhra Pradesh high courts in a case relating to the printing and publication of the International Herald Tribune (IHT) from Hyderabad.     

An information and broadcasting ministry official today said that the caveat is being filed so as to ensure that the printers of the IHT in India do not get any verdict from any court without the government being made a party to the case.

The official also said that the government had given a "time frame" to IHT and Midram Publications to stop the printing of the IHT from Hyderabad. He added that the the government has not heard anything officially from IHT in Hong Kong or Midram Publications as of this evening.
