Is media trial putting unecessary pressure on judiciary?

Posted by A. A. JOSE	03/11/2008 12:38:08
MEDIA TRIAL PUTS UNNECESSARY PRESSURE NOT ONLY ON JUDICIARY BUT ALSO ON THE AFFECTED PARTIES AS WELL AS MEDIA VIEWERS. THIS MUST BE RESTRICTED BY LAW.

yes according to me media is putting unnecessary pressure

Posted by Rohit sakalley	14/07/2008 23:12:39
because there is no appropriate act cfor indian media like news chanels

Posted by Sukhija	13/07/2008 22:04:52
Yes, definitely.But it also is necessary for most of us to know how and what justice we are expecting and getting in true sense.

Posted by O. D. VERMA	13/07/2008 19:41:32
Restriction should be there on media.

I wonder why so many voted stating that it puts unnecessary pressure on judiciary. Media trial is nothing but video conferencing. It is quick, fast and no time is wasted where the complaint or relief sought is genuine

Posted by divyeshnimavat	12/07/2008 17:03:34
well, to some extent its necessary. there is an urgent need for fair trial n impartial proceedings.....way out may be in-camera proceedings.

Arushi is case is latest example in this series where not only media put pressure on judiciary but also investigation.

Posted by Ambika.S	12/07/2008 12:54:40
judiciary should work independently it should not by presurised by exposing the evidence of different degress.

Posted by prakash dubey	11/07/2008 22:07:30
let the judiciary free from any comment.there must be code of conduct for media for free and fair trails.

Posted by Vikas Gakhar	11/07/2008 19:43:43
definately - media has no right to comment - on judicial matter - their should be code of conduct for media - and there should be limits on their comments - "NO ? - // - or ..... should be permitted to any mode of media

Posted by Murali Krishna	11/07/2008 17:31:14
It appears so quite often. Though judiciary has its own parameters to look into a case and has to justify its judgements within the bounds of statute, yet, media trial has its impact may be indirectly.

Posted by vetrivelan.s	11/07/2008 13:14:51
its not a show to be shown to or participated by every one.

Posted by Chayanika	10/07/2008 12:44:21
Media is definitely acting as a catalyst for speedier disposal of cases.Media should also help the under priviliged in ensuring that justice is being done to them.Media should also address the issues of under trial prisoners.

Posted by R C Sharma	08/07/2008 22:30:17
Yes media trial is putting unesessary on judiciary.

Posted by Dr.Gaurang N. Gandhi	08/07/2008 21:40:33
Many times media blundering and making vest of time

Posted by HARISH M V	08/07/2008 10:17:17
Media will mar the country through publishing unnecessary information which is not relevant.

Posted by s.sivakumar	07/07/2008 21:37:42
no no no there is no pressure on judiciary

Posted by j.balaji	07/07/2008 20:30:08
media should not unnecessarily put pressure on the judiciary.

Posted by Sanjay K Jha	07/07/2008 18:09:06
It's not unnecessary pressure, however, it's necessary pressure. The way courts were treating high profile cases had become fracas in India. Let them work ruthlessly. Things will settle down in due course of time.

Posted by aruntrivedi	07/07/2008 08:36:29
media should attempt to bring upto the people only their unnecessary show and repeating the story psychologically pressures people. When justice is done they do not highlight as highlighted for injustice. However, their should be some norms which they themselves adopt it and they should keep themselves within their limits. At many times as a lawyer I feel that media crossing the limits.

Posted by Prakhar Srivastava	07/07/2008 06:43:49
No, I dont Think so..they r just doin there job.

Posted by Mukesh Chudiwal	06/07/2008 21:07:15
Yes. Media creating bias in the mind of readers and also by interrfering in judiacial function undermining the judicial system.

Posted by Ladhu Ram Chowdhary	06/07/2008 18:15:58

Posted by Purushottam	06/07/2008 14:54:33
YES

Posted by s.s.anjaneyulu	06/07/2008 13:19:00
now media unnecessarily peeping into the each and every issue not cooperating with the proceedings of the court of law, which should be calmnly undertaken in its own way.

Posted by mohd. muqim khan	06/07/2008 11:27:24
media trial is not only giving pressure to the judiciary but they are also interfering and disturbing the investigation of police / concerned agency at the initial stage only. they are responsible for investigating agency to make a scapegoat of a person other than the real culprit only because of their pressure, the investigating agency want to give a message to the public that they have investigated the crime & solved the case in due course.

Posted by K.C.Suresh	06/07/2008 04:56:43
Not only media the political party young cadre is used for pressurising the judiciary. It may not create any problem still it is a heavy mental strain at the lower judicial ranks in bail matters and death cases in media sensational matters. How to tackle this is now the question. We cannot advise the memebers of the judiciary to avoid the reading and veiwing of media crations. But they keeep in mind justice is being done not to the media but to the victim,offender and state.

Posted by B.P. Bhardwaj	04/07/2008 23:20:14
it is nacked fact

Posted by ganesh	04/07/2008 20:18:09
It must be taken in a right way,, the chances for the judiciary to take it in a social outlook,, one must not forget the law is changing according to time, the important cause must be clarified...

Posted by Ankur Jain	04/07/2008 18:42:40
media pressurise the law by sowing that they are better than tje indian investigation agencies i.e cbi , indian police etc.

Posted by moshe	04/07/2008 07:40:36
yes it is unneccessary putting on judictiary

Posted by rakhi	03/07/2008 14:15:00
media is a direct voice of public.a lots of cases are not in force,so media is playing a good role in that case we cant say that they are putting aunecessary pressure on judiciary.

Posted by dev srivastava	03/07/2008 13:53:19
according to me ,media trial is not putting pressure on judiciary.reason is that judiciary is independent under the provisions of constitution of india.media trial can not effect the judgement of juciary.

Posted by ca.bhupendrashah	02/07/2008 21:40:28
too much

Posted by COMDT M M SHARMA	02/07/2008 20:11:28
Yes. But at the same time it is keeping the judiciary on its toes!

Posted by Tomy John Vettath	02/07/2008 10:58:15
Yes,it is true.

Posted by VIKAS GARG	02/07/2008 10:52:10

Posted by rupak	01/07/2008 23:52:17
media has made a mess of arushi trial.

Posted by D.V.RamaKrishna	01/07/2008 19:05:34
Yes, In a way unwarranted interruption by media into the cases under police investigation or facing court trial is not only putting unnecessary pressure on judiciary but also paving way for prejucided trial and judgment.

Posted by UJAS DHARAMSHI	01/07/2008 17:51:23
yes

Posted by Ajit	01/07/2008 15:54:06
YES

Posted by Advocate chitra	01/07/2008 10:02:54
Yes this is true.

Posted by Member (Account Deleted)	01/07/2008 07:52:45
Any media where opinions are expressed would be considered dangerous if it starts to believe that their opinion is the only one that is correct.

Posted by UJAS DHARAMSHI	30/06/2008 18:47:15
yes

Posted by UJAS DHARAMSHI	30/06/2008 18:43:53
Yes, the media trial is putting lot of pressure on judiciary as judiciary is an independent body and media cannot in any situation influence the judiciary. However judiciary is constitutionally independent and media trial should be in its limit as not to corrupt the minds of the people against judciary.

Posted by P.R.KABRA	30/06/2008 17:56:59
The Honourable Judges are normally impartial. They study the proofs before them applying their own mind. In my opinion they don't have time to track what media is vomiting.

Posted by SANJAY DIXIT	30/06/2008 00:02:23
The reach of media, in the present time of 24-hour channels, is to almost every nook and corner of the world but some mechanism may have to be devised to check the publication which has the tendency to undermine the institution of judiciary.

Posted by Kiran Kumar	29/06/2008 07:26:58
in fact media is running parallel judiciary and the Indian media is devoid of any professional ethics, just for sake of TRPs unethical practices are being adopted by various media houses though i must give a bit of exception to NDTV. I am not their campaigner but if compared with others, NDTV still holds a bit of media ethics.

Posted by Vikram Chandra	27/06/2008 17:32:54
Definetely, even the 'pressure of media' was expressed by none other than our CJI recently in a seminar held at Hyderabad. See, the impact of media as it reaches every hook & nook corner of the globe, the news will have strong impact on a general public without knowing the intricacies involved in practically analysing the case which the court does, it is easy for the media to publish anything nonsense without having the true professional wisdom with regard to the interpretation of Law. vikram chandra, advocate.

Posted by Bharat Gala	27/06/2008 17:00:02
Let the media remain the medium of NEWS only and let the appropriate authorities take their due course of action to resolve the matter.

Posted by Srinivas.B.S.S.T	27/06/2008 15:48:52
Media should be refrained to make comments about cases sub-judice.

Posted by jeny de souza	27/06/2008 15:48:08
Media is doing its duty; Why cant we face it

Posted by Prakash Yedhula	27/06/2008 13:01:03
In many cases, media sensitize the issue and blow the case out of proportion. The advent of TV news channels, the competition between them and raise in investigating journalism all puts enormous pressure on the investigating agency and the judiciary. Since there is no mechanism to control the media, they are allowed a free hand in this.
