New Delhi, May 03: The Supreme Court said that it does not want to demoralise high courts as they are vital pillars of democracy, and observed that critical remarks like those made by the Madras High Court against the Election Commission are often made in an open dialogue between the bar and bench.
The top court said seeking relief by ECI that media should not report on observations is ‘too far-fetched’ and it should be able to report everything to create accountability.
SC said that the media is an important and powerful watchdog in democracy and cannot be stopped from reporting discussions in higher courts.
