Judiciary
'Ill-informed and agenda driven debates on issues involving justice delivery are proving to be detrimental to the health of democracy.'
Speaking at public lecture at the National University of Study and Research in Law at Ranchi, CJI Ramana said that electronic media has “zero accountability,” according to LiveLaw. https://thewire.in/law/cji-nv-ramana-kangaroo-court-media-debate
The CJI said that “doing justice” was no easy responsibility and is growing increasingly challenging.
“At times, there are also concerted campaigns in media, particularly on social media against judges,” he said.
The CJI spoke of the impact of alleged media trials on the judiciary.
“Another aspect which affects the fair functioning and independence of judiciary is the rising number of media trials. New media tools have enormous amplifying ability but appear to be incapable of distinguishing between the right and the wrong, the good and the bad and the real and the fake. Media trials cannot be a guiding factor in deciding cases,” he said.

Justice HP Sandesh Exposes Open Threat to Indian Judiciary | Akash Banerjee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp7bFp05Ti8 Jul 12, 2022 Justice HP Sandesh of the Karnataka High Court has done the unthinkable - what has always been discussed in hushed tones is now out in the open. Just how 'independent' and 'free' is the judiciary ???? - Justice Sandesh blew to bits the fake myth that Justices are isolated from 'influences' .... in a stinging observation ( that is now on record) it has been clearly shown how deep the rot is. Sadly this too will go unaddressed very soon.
