The court also held that trial by media of the actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case hindered the administration of justice.
While passing a verdict in a bunch of petitions filed against media trials in the wake of reportage relating to the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the bench of Bombay High Court Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni said, Trial by media obstructs the fair probe in a criminal case. The regime of self-regulation by the media has no sanctity.”
