Till now we have seen all the shades of media, all its weak as well as strong points. One thing that we cannot deny at this point is that the phenomenon of media trial is indeed real and is affecting our judicial system. Media trials are swapping places with judiciary and that too with people’s support and faith in them. Its high time when people should realize that Indian Judiciary is the epitome of justice and there’s no denying on it.  And at the end of the day judiciary should be the body to which all the people turn to for the delivery of justice because having a fair trial is an essential part of a fair and just society. The right to a fair trial is the only way a miscarriage of justice can be averted. So, what can be suggested to address this issue and at the end reach a fair verdict?
