Re: TV talk shows on sub judice issues irk SC judges
In almost all the countries, it is illegal to influence the courts through media campaigns on ongoing cases.
Wrong! I'm a law student and I know thing or two about contempt of court. Willfully defying a court oder is a contempt of court, as it is understood in here in the US, and in rest of the world. Scrutinizing/criticizing judicial decision is not a contempt of court. Here in the US a judge can issue a "gag order" if he/she feels that media can taint jury pool, but thats about it.
