Chief justice warns media against extreme presentation

BANGALORE: Observing that everybody is answerable to his/her conscience, high court Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen on Tuesday said if the media continues to give a one-sided picture, some "radical action " needs to be taken against it.

"Under Article 19(a), media enjoys the widest protection . It is for them to take stock. They have to look into the mirror as everybody is answerable to their conscience . The media can't expect to be defended when they make such extreme presentations ,'' the chief justice observed while adjourning hearing of a batch of contempt petitions and a PIL.

The bench also impleaded several Kannada news channels in the petition and adjourned the case hearing to April 9.
