Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Saturday said the media is running "kangaroo courts" on issues even experienced judges find difficult to decide.
Concerted campaigns against judges, particularly on social media, and media trials affect judicial functioning. Doing justice is not an easy responsibility. It is not easy to swallow when false narratives are created about the "easy life" led by judges, the CJI said.
He said ill-informed, biased and agenda-driven debates in the media on issues pending in courts are affecting justice delivery.
