Media Trial and its Effects on Judiciary
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Is judiciary actually an independent body and shouldn't be influenced by anything that's happening in the society in order to take a rationale decision. Our Indian judiciary as per Article 49 of the constitution has to be an independent body. The judiciary not only has the power to interpret the law that has been made by the legislature but also has the duty to check and balance the practices of the other two bodies-legislature and the executive. In order to fulfill this duty, the judiciary should stand alone apart from the other two body so that it would not have an influence upon judiciary. The law was clearly laid down mainly for this purpose. However, the unofficial fourth pillar of our constitution, the media has the tried to penetrate into the powers of judiciary.
