Telangana High Court Judge Calls For Action Against 2 Telugu News Channels For Airing Views Aimed At Tarnishing His Image

Live Law  

In the order granting anticipatory bail to the Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy in the Vivekananda Reddy murder case, the Telangana High Court judge Justice M. Laxman said that certain attempts were made by "selective media to thwart and derail judicial process" and tarnish his image by airing views of certain persons "of their choice with conscious knowledge of their antecedents to intimidate, to threaten and to damage my reputation by personal attack." "One of the participant, who is suspended and detained judge, made a direct attack by saying money bags went to Judge,” said Justice Laxman, while referring to the news debates related to the case. Another participant holding "respectable office" had used derogatory language and gestures which are aimed to “tarnish my competency abilities” by mis-interpretation and misunderstanding of deliberations of court proceedings, Justice Laxman said further. Justice Laxman also said that he had thought of recusal in the matter but changed mind due to "direction of the Apex Court and the oath of office particularly “discharge of duties without fear”.
