A media conference is usually held after the police arrests the accused for the crimes. However, the Supreme Court has made several comments on the rules to be followed by the police on these media meetings. According to the rules, the Supreme Court has learned that the police will have to tell the details of the criminal cases in the press meet. She said that before the investigations of the criminals are completed, the incomplete things that are disclosed will provide opportunities for media investigation. However, it also said that there is a possibility of diverting the legal process. Moreover, it is having a serious impact on the performance of judges. It is also said that there is a danger of violating the rights of accused, victims and witnesses. That's why she said to be careful about the disclosure of criminal cases. She suggested to follow the standard rules to be followed while telling the details of the criminals to the media. However, the Supreme Court has issued instructions to the Union Home Department to prepare comprehensive guidelines in this regard within three months. However, the DGPs of all states should give suggestions on its design within a month. It has also suggested to consider the views of the National Human Rights Commission.
