Today, Justice Sanjiv Khanna of the Supreme Court of India held that media reports on cases being argued before court, does not affect the judges.

Two days ago, Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud issued directives to the Ministry of Home Affairs to formulate comprehensive guidelines regarding police media briefings.

"It does not affect us..we have to get used to it..", said the judge.

Further, the Court directed Director Generals of Police (DGPs) of all states to submit their suggestions for the said manual. 

The bench also comprising Justice SV Bhatti made this observation on media reports while hearing the bail plea filed by former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia in a case registered against him by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam case

"Everyday this matter is listed, a report comes by the media, talking about merits..this court is already considering to have guidelines on media reporting..", Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Sisodia said. 

In response to his submission, Justice Khanna made the aforementioned observation.

Furthermore, the matter has now been listed for hearing on October 4, after Singhvi told the bench about him requiring at least 2-3 hours to make his submissions.
