Role of Media in protecting public trust in judiciary.

“If the past century belonged to the struggle for free speech, perhaps the coming one will belong to the struggle for true speech — information that is accurate, ethical, and respectful of dignity.
If the past century grappled with access to justice, the coming one may grapple with fairness in technologically driven justice. And
if the past century debated the power of the press, the coming one will debate the power of algorithms. The struggle is never-ending”

Sometimes influencers and social media accounts themselves engage in selective picking of arguments/discussions being made in the Court. They extract this byte, usually termed as clickbait, to draw greater number of views to generate revenue at the cost of reputation of our Courts.

Principles required for a Judge


I had once asked Justice Iyer what his guiding principles in his role as Judge were. In his inimitable style, he said it were four and described them thus:===> The first lesson he said, fundamental to life and law, is humility without hubris and humanist hearing without “high bench” attitude; ===>the second - which he said touched his judicial heart - was the compassionate treasury of the preamble to the Constitution, particularly the words in its exordium “we, the people of India”; the ===> third, was to hear either side fairly since courage and independence obliged him to give even “the devil its due”; and ==>finally, Justice Iyer told me that his life has taught him that perfect justice is a mirage and that in pursuit of this illusion, we ought not to jeopardise that justice which is within our grasp.

By Justice Krishna Iyer (as he then was)

Reserved Category Candidates Availing Age Relaxation Barred From Migrating To General Category Seats If Rules Forbid : Supreme Court
https://www.livelaw.in/supreme-court/reserved-category-candidates-availing-age-relaxation-barred-from-migrating-to-general-category-seats-if-rules-forbid-supreme-court-303357

Ratio: “Whether a reserved candidate who has availed relaxation in fees/upper age limit to participate in open competition with general candidates may be recruited against unreserved seats would depend on the facts of each case. That is to say, in the event there is no embargo in the recruitment rules/employment notification, such reserved candidates who have scored higher than the last selected unreserved candidate shall be entitled to migrate and be recruited against unreserved seats. However, if an embargo is imposed under relevant recruitment rules, such reserved candidates shall not be permitted to migrate to general category seats

Relied: The Court also referred to Saurav Yadav v. State of UP (2020), clarifying that candidates can only be migrated to unreserved seats when no special concession has been availed and no bar exists in the recruitment framework.

Facts: Since a bar to migration existed in the present case, the Court overturned the High Court's decision and denied the migration to the Respondents to the general seats.
