Media can't be judge, jury, executioner: Karnataka HC bars media trial against actor Darshan

Media can't be judge, jury, executioner: Karnataka HC bars media trial against actor Darshan The Karnataka High Court recently issued a directions to curb sensationalised media reporting on the murder case against Kannada actor Darshan Thogudeepa [Darshan Srinivas v Union of India & Ors]. Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum passed the ruling on a plea filed by Darshan to curb media trials against him. In the April 30 verdict, the judge found that the content flagged by Darshan reflected a disturbing trend where the media had made a spectacle of pending court proceedings. "The broadcast media has gone to the extent of recreating courtroom proceedings, with only the face of the presiding Judge being masked, while the faces of the accused and counsel are openly displayed. Such programmes are telecast on every date of hearing, thereby converting pending judicial proceedings into a form of public spectacle," the Court said. The Court found that this amounted to a calculated media-driven adjudication, which could foster a parallel narrative and amount to harmful pre-trial publicity. "Such broadcasts, which border on trial by headlines, cannot be countenanced in a system governed by the rule of law, particularly when they are aired in willful disobedience of binding injunctions and in a manner that tends to interfere with the administration of justice," the Court observed. Media reportage cannot be permitted to supplant judicial determination, the Court added.
