Former Supreme Court Judge Madan B Lokur

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Madan B Lokur noted on Saturday that the media is under attack "in many ways" in the country but the freedom of press is a fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution.

The idea of social justice has gone on the back burner with the Supreme Court not doing as much as it should, former judge Justice (Retd) Madan B Lokur said on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court has been liberal while adjudicating matters related to personal liberty and that is the way it should be, Justice (retired) Madan B Lokur said on Friday.

Law is being misused to curb free press and speech, former Supreme Court judge Madan B Lokur said. He said that "a lethal cocktail of use and misuse of law" is being used to impact adversely the liberty of all those who dare to speak up.

Former Supreme Court Judge Madan B Lokur said on Tuesday that judiciary has to be on guard to ensure that the police does not exceed authority in an investigation and see there is a fair probe. His remark comes amid country-wide outrage over police atrocities.
