Keywords:
Judiciary, Impact of Judge-media interaction, judicial integrityAbstract
Judges are seen for much too long to exercise restraint when it comes to interaction with media. But changing times have observed the dilution of this restraint in the backdrop of absence of any clear cut regulations with respect to Indian judges’ interaction with press. The essay studies the possible impacts of judge-media communication, importance of restraint outside court, accommodates varying opinions on the issue and attempts to draw a bar as to what interaction is permissive and what is restrictive. The essay, conclusively has stressed on striking the balance between the culture of judicial restraint and judicial activism in the faceoff between judiciary and media. The focus is to allow healthy conversation within the limits of judicial integrity and judicial ethics. The interaction should be a responsible one so that constitutional machinery and public faith in judiciary is not thrown into the wind.
