										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Public intellectuals have &#8220;a duty to expose the lies of the State&#8221;, Supreme Court Justice DY Chandrachud said Saturday morning, stressing that in a democratic country it is important to hold governments responsible and guard against falsehoods, false narratives and fake news.</p>
<p>Delivering the Justice MC Chagla Memorial Lecture, Justice Chandrachud also cautioned against an over-reliance on the government to provide social, political, economic, cultural and, in the current context, medical truths; he highlighted manipulation of COVID-19 data as an example.</p>
<p>&#8220;One cannot rely only on the State for truth. Totalitarian governments are known for their constant reliance on falsehoods to consolidate power&#8230; we see there is an increasing trend among countries to manipulate COVID-19 data,&#8221; Justice Chandrachud said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said today he was &#8220;extremely upset&#8221; over media reports on a Supreme Court collegium&#8217;s recommendations on new judges and urged the media to be &#8220;responsible&#8221; in reporting such news. The top judge said reports on appointments even before any formal announcement are &#8220;counterproductive&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;The process of appointment of judges is sacrosanct and has certain dignity attached to it. Media friends must understand and recognise the sanctity of this process,&#8221; the Chief Justice said, speaking at the farewell of a judge, justice Navin Sinha.</p>
<p>&#8220;There were instances of deserving career progression of bright talents getting marred because of such irresponsible reporting and speculation. This is very unfortunate and I am extremely upset about it. I appreciate maturity and responsibility displayed by majority of senior journalists and media houses in not speculating on such serious matter,&#8221; Justice Ramana said.</p>
