India Legal TV show: Analysing legal developments threadbare

Court orders are two-dimensional documents. The discussion and debate over court orders forms the basis of the India Legal show on APN News channel, all of which was moderated by Editor-in-Chief Rajshri Rai. In 2021, we covered some major topics that showed up on the legal landscape. Here are a few:

A Plea for Justice?

Former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi’s provocatively titled memoir, Justice for the Judge, saw many up in arms at Gogoi’s attempt to repair his reputation over the sexual harassment charges levelled against him.

Aryan Khan case: The Media on Trial

The Aryan Khan drug case has once again raked up the bugbear of trial by media. Did media behave responsibly enough in reporting the case? Did it cross the lines of legal sanctity and ethical impropriety in its quest for ratings? Where the rights of the accused trampled by media blitzkrieg?

Women in Black: Their dismal number in the judiciary can’t be overlooked

2021 is the 100th year of Indian women taking their first baby step in the judicial profession. This year also marks an effort to give a more equitable representation to women in the judiciary.

Women Justices Break the Glass Ceiling

August 31, 2021, saw the dawn of a new era for the Indian judiciary. Three women judges, along with six male counterparts, were sworn in at the Supreme Court by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana.
