Media has conducted several media trials in which the case is still pending to be decided by the court but media portray the accused of such cases in public in the way that they are the actual culprits due to which the right of the accused of a fair trial vide Article 14, 20, 21 and 22 of constitution of India is jeopardized. Media announces the accused in such cases to be a criminal in which the judgement is yet to be announced by the court. Attempts have been made by the Legislature and the judiciary to draw a line between each other so the judiciary and the media could work with each other in the best way possible and in the best interests of the Justice. Through this paper an attempt is made to put light on the events when the media has made attempts to jeopardize the justice system and draw attention on the measures available to stop such attempts.
