IT REFERS to concern of Delhi High Court bench headed by Chief Justice AP Shah on lawyers discussing in media on pending cases in courts.
This aspect apart, Union government should impose a total ban on even naming and interviewing defence-lawyers in any criminal case. It is quite common that even lawyers with little practice take up free cases of dreaded criminals like rapists, murderers, terrorists etc especially in media-highlighted cases, just to figure themselves on TV-screens and newspapers. This results in free and enormous media-publicity of such lawyers to brighten prospects of their legal shops.
Banning naming and interviewing of such lawyers will benefit towards a crime-free society because then media-crazy lawyers may not rush to take up cases of dreaded criminals voluntarily and/or free for their self-publicity.
