Jharkhand: CJI Ramana asks media to be accountable, shares challenges of judges

The Chief Justice said it is common perception that judges work from 10am to 4pm but this is far from the truth. He said judges have to work even on their off days and before applying their judicious mind they have to read much.

Chief Justice of India N.V.Ramana today shared the problem of judges while delivering Justice S.B.Sinha inaugural lecture at Judicial Academy here amid presence of Jharkhand High Court judges, faculties and students of NUSRL among others.

The Chief Justice said it is common perception that judges work from 10am to 4pm but this is far from the truth. He said judges have to work even on their off days and before applying their judicious mind they have to read much.

Expressing his concern over the physical attack on judges he said judges have no protection after their retirement and they have to remain with those against whom they have given verdict.

Talking about the importance of the judiciary, he said it is the most trusted organ of democracy.

The chief justice on the occasion expressed outrage over the irresponsible journalism in the country saying sometimes the media runs ‘Kangaroo court’ which is not healthy for democracy.

He said print media is still accountable while accountability of electronic and social media is zero. While giving his observation, the Chief Justice asked media persons to regulate themselves and work for educating and energising people.
