Right to defend in Criminal Justice System
Right to defend is the fundamental rights under constitution and the supremacy of our criminal justice system lies on the jurisprudence that everyone will be presumed innocent unless proved guilty. But the manner in which some people r being targeted and criminalized in the name of corona patients is a matter of concern not only to our nation integration but putting a question mark on our criminal justice system as how people are being tried before media and being criminalized in the name of religion and the situation becomes so imminent that our pm has to tweet the lesson of fraternity and brotherhood.
More than that these media trial has been going on even in the absence of fir copy in the hand of public because those who r accused by media are not even provided copy of fir as per media report.
Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in the matter of Court on its own motion case and the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the Young Bar Association Case held that supply of F.I.R. to the accused is their right but the agency violating the direction of Apex court by not giving copy of FIR to accused and flowing information to media is highly improbable to the criminal justice system.
No one is above the law and equality before law is the fundamental rule to our constitution.
For example, we provided right to defense and fair trial to Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, a terrorist who has taken hundreds of lives in Mumbai Attack (26/11).
