ABSTRACT:
In this text the viewers will understand the term "media trial" which refers to the prejudicial impact of print and television media coverage on legal cases, often portraying the accused as guilty before a fair trial. In India, where freedom of speech is a constitutional right, media trials challenge the balance between press autonomy and fair legal proceedings. Regulatory oversight and public media literacy are essential to counter sensationalism. High- profile cases like Aarushi Talwar and Nirbhaya highlight the impact on public perception. The 200th Law Commission report suggests amendments to curb premature media judgment. While media serves transparency, responsible journalism is crucial to prevent biased narratives from influencing justice.
