Jul 03, 2022

New Delhi, July 04 (ANI): With the rising instances of media trails and attacks on judges for their judgments in the country, Supreme Court Judge Justice JB Pardiwala on July 03 in Delhi, said that personal attacks on judges for their judgements lead to a dangerous scenario. “We're guardian of rights and have to tell people things they don't like. Judicial verdicts cannot be reflections of influence of public opinion,” Justice JB Pardiwala said.“Personal attacks on judges for their judgements lead to a dangerous scenario where judges have to think about what the media thinks instead of what the law really thinks,” he added.“In India which cannot be defined as a completely mature or defined democracy, social media is employed frequently to politicise purely legal and constitutional issues,” he further added.
