It seems that media when ever it suits a story fit enough to create sensation cite blunders as legal propositions. It is the onus of the person who makes an allegation to produce evidence instead of varying accusations. Mobile phones or sources of communications belonging to citizen are part of their privacy. The Law enables examination of the contents of private communications reluctantly as per procedure prescribed in that behalf. A Prima facie probability of a circumstance ought to be discernible when the appropriate authority allow the investigating agency to exercise such intrusion.So far the statements of Dr.Biju Ramesh as per media reports and quotes of channel panellists are too inconsistent to give credibility. Association has been buying time instead of telling truth, presumably positioning in a coign of vantage to bargain. Question one should address himself is in the enthusiasm to celebrate the embarrassment of a celebrity new venues and precedents for intrusions in to privacy in violation of human rights are cleaved. In this country what is legislated to meet the threat of terrorism often is implemented to detain innocents. Emergency was declared to avoid anarchy but ended with forcible birth control. So when a liberal tower examination is solicited the person who demand should foresee the eventuality of Police demanding the disclosure of sources of journalists. In Legislature there are rules to be followed before allegations are made. Even otherwise the principle of natural justice demands that no one shall be condemned unheard. If a document has to be tabled it should be submitted to the Speaker to assess its prima facie ingenuity. So the Speaker was correct.. .
