Bombay high court
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Monday, in a significant judgment on a clutch of PILs against “sensationalism” by broadcast media in the coverage of death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, said the media should restrain itself and “avoid or regulate” its coverage and debates and discussions during ongoing criminal investigations of cases.
The media should convey what is “informative, but in public interest, instead of what according to the media the public is interested in,” it directed. It said media must “avoid character assassination” while reporting on suicides.
The HC said “trial by media interferes with administration of justice” and amounts to contempt of court.
