Constitutional authorities can do better than to complain and ask for fetters on the media, the Supreme Court said today on the Election Commission's petition complaining about media reports on the Madras High Court telling the poll body it should be booked for murder for not stopping political rallies amid Covid. The Supreme Court said the remarks made by the Madras High Court were "harsh and the metaphor improper" and judicial restraint was necessary. "There is a need for judicial restraint for off the cuff remarks which is open for misinterpretation. Judicial language is important for constitutional ethos. Power of judicial review is so high that it forms a basic structure," the top court observed.More Related News
