12. During the course of investigation by the SIT based on the examination of witnesses, interrogation conducted with the arrested accused, analysis of video graph and photograph taken at the SOC and analysis of whatsapp groups etc., the identity of several of accused are being ascertained and based on such evidence, so far 53 accused and 03 children in conflict with law have been arrested/apprehended and sent to judicial custody and Juvenile care home respectively. It is further submitted that the process of identification and arrest of the other accused is in progress.
13. It is respectfully submitted that the Special Investigation Team [SIT] is conducting a thorough investigation in a systematic and professional manner to ensure that all the perpetrators of crime as well as all the instigators are identified and brought before the justice at the earliest.”
14. A perusal of the above report reveals that investigation is proceeding in the right direction. However, the State has to ensure that parallel investigation in the form of social media investigation in Youtube, Twitter, etc., should be monitored and all efforts should be taken to avert such acts in social media.
15. The Inspector of Police, Crime Branch CID, Tiruvannamalai, filed a status report, dated 29/8/2022. A perusal of the CB-CID status report shows that substantial part of the investigation has been conducted in all angle meticulously by the CB-CID. It also discloses the fact that the Expert Committee appointed by this Court namely JIPMER Medical Team also gave its opinion after comparing the earlier two postmortems by stating that there is no inconsistency found in the two postmortem.
16. From the Experts report and also the investigation done in all angles so far, the contentions of the petitioner that the death is due to sexual assault and homicidal violence cannot be countenanced as the reports placed before this Court does not even suggest homicidal violence or any sexual assault. CB-CID also examined the close friends of the deceased and their statements are also recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. before the learned jurisdictional Magistrate. Some statements of the witnesses covered in the status report also indicated that the deceased was suffering from depression previously and even she has gone to the extent of  cutting her hand with a blade, whenever she was under depression. Further, the status report filed by CB CID reveals that suicide note has been written by the girl.  The handwriting in the suicide note tallies with the handwriting of the deceased, as per the opinion of the handwriting experts. Thus, many things have been unearthed during the investigation with regard to the death of the girl. Though Mr.R.Sankarasubbu, learned counsel disputed the opinion found in the post mortem certificate,  this Court is of the view that mere suspicion, cannot be a ground to disbelieve the expert report. Neither the counsel nor the Court are experts on this aspect and merely because the defacto complainant has raised such suspicion over the issue, one cannot expect that investigation should go on the lines alleged by the petitioner. Therefore, the contention of Mr.R.Sankarasubbu, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that there is inconsistency in the two postmortem reports as per their expert opinion, has no legs to stand.
17. Investigation has to be conducted as per the procedure established by law. Merely because some allegations have been pressed into service at the initial stage, i.e., it is a case of rape and murder, one cannot expect the final report in the line of their allegations. From the status report, this Court is of the view that the investigation is done in all angles and therefore the contention of Mr.R.Sankarasubbu, learned counsel that the investigation is not going in the right direction cannot be countenanced.
18. Even in our experience we have seen even a defacto complainantwould be made an accused after completion of the investigation. Such stage has not reached in this investigation, whereas, the status report also discloses various other circumstances and the same cannot be divulged at present.
19. At this stage, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that all the copies of the experts report and status reports of the investigation conducted has to be given to him. Such contention cannot be entertained and it is for the investigating officer to file appropriate report before the concerned Court.   It is also to be noted that even as per Sections 301 and 302 of Cr.P.C. a private person cannot conduct prosecution, at the most he can only assist the Public Prosecutor and for certain offences, permission may be granted to a private person by the learned Magistrate to conduct prosecution. Such being the position of law, neither the defacto complainant nor their counsel can assume the role of the prosecutor or investigating agency. Therefore, the contention of Mr.R.Sankarasubbu, learned counsel for the petitioner that all the copies be furnished to him, at this stage, cannot be entertained.
20. Further, as this issue has been sensationalised by social mediaplatforms like You Tube, Twitter, Face Book, etc., which are running parallel amateurish investigation which would be nothing but derailing the investigation being taken up by the law enforcing agency. Merely for the purpose of sensationalising the issue and to provide some additional ammunition to the petitioner, copies as sought for cannot be given. Further, pending investigation, the petitioner would have no right to seek copies of the said documents. Therefore, all the material papers cannot be granted to the petitioner till the final report is filed and thereafter also only on the orders of the concerned Court, as per law, such documents can be given.
21. This Court has passed several orders in this issue not to conduct parallel investigation in media, despite the orders of this Court, some electronic and social media are conducting various interviews with persons who have no knowledge about the prosecution and investigation to attract sympathy of the public. Even after the expert report submitted before the lower Court, some Advocates, who have no expertise in this filed, are giving different opinion in the media comparing two postmortem reports.  This Court is of the view that such persons who are not experts, being an Advocate shall not conduct parallel trail or investigation in the media. Such act itself is against professional ethics and it is also a misconduct and it amounts to advertisement of his profession. Therefore, the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu is directed to identify those advocates who conduct parallel investigation in electronic and social media particularly with regard to the death of the school child, pending investigation and take necessary disciplinary proceedings against those advocates. It is also made clear that this Court will not hesitate to take appropriate action against such advocates for violating the orders of this Court.
22. It is to be highlighted that media should show some sense of responsibility while publishing the news, especially with regard to children. As per the psychologists, sensationalizing the news of death and projecting the issue made other four children to travel the same path.  Instead of projecting the incident in detail, they can give helpline numbers, which will be very much useful.  Media should be vigilant while addressing any messages or images.
23. Freedom of speech guaranteed under the Constitution of India, is to be used in the sense that it does not spread falsity amongst the citizens, rather, the social media should be conscious of their duty to its citizens and take only genuine news to the doorsteps of the citizens without weaving false stories from out of thin air and such of those media should be dealt with in accordance with law by the investigating agency.
24. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the Manu Sharma vs. State (NCT of Delhi) reported in (2010) 6 SCC 1 has outlined the dangers of a “media trial”. It observed that there existed a serious risk of prejudice being caused if the media exercised unrestricted and unregulated freedom in so far as carrying out parallel trial procedures without being held up to any standard. Furthermore, carrying out a relentless scrutiny of any accused without any definitive exposition by a competent court of law goes against the rights of the accused as well. One of the basic tenets of criminal jurisprudence is presumption of innocence (“ei incumbit probatio qui dicit non qui negat” – the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies), however, with the current state of affairs this no longer seems to be the case.
25. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in K. Gopalan v. Noordeen reported in 1969 (2) SCC 734 held that a publication which is made after the ‘arrest’ of a person amounts to contempt if it is biased to the suspect. Criminal contempt is divided into three types: scandalizing, prejudicing trial and hindering the administration of justice. The principle of natural justice states that “every accused has a right to a fair trial” and the principle “justice may not only be done it must also seem to be done” reflects the need of a fair trial. Contempt was introduced to prevent unjust and unfair trials. Publications of any sorts should not poison the minds of jurors or attempt to intimidate the witnesses in which the administration of justice is impossible, amounts to contempt.
26. The Delhi High Court in Shashi Tharoor v. Arnab Goswami and Anr, reported MANU/DE/4544/2017 has held that it is the function and right of the media to gather and convey information to the public and to comment on the administration of justice, including cases before, during and after trial, without violating the presumption of innocence. In fact, presumption of innocence and a fair trial are at the heart of criminal jurisprudence and in way important facets of a democratic polity that is governed by rule of law. Journalists are free to investigate but they cannot pronounce anyone guilty and/or pre judge the issue and/or prejudice the trial. The grant of the fairest of the opportunity to the accused to prove his innocence is the object of every fair trial. Conducting a fair trial is beneficial both to the accused as well as to the society. A conviction resulting from unfair trial is contrary to the concept of justice.
27. In matter of State of Kerala and Anr.v. N.M.Thomas and Ors, reported in AIR 1976 SC 490, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that despite of the reasonable restrictions of freedom of speech and expression, one can see the way in which the media abuses this freedom in the name of its own trial to interfere in the administration of justice which is punishable under Section 12 of Contempt of Courts Act, 1971.
28. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in State of Maharashtra Vs. Rajendra Jawanmal Gandhi reported in 1997 (8) SCC 386 has observed that, “there is procedure established by law governing the conduct of trial of a person accused of an offence. A trial by press, electronic media or public agitation is very antithesis of rule of law. It can well lead to miscarriage of justice.
29. Keeping the above judgments in mind and considering the facts and circumstances of this case, this Court records its displeasure over the issue being sensationalized and politicized by some electronic and social media.

Therefore, this Court, in the interest of justice, directs the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to take appropriate action, as per law, against the youtube channels and persons conducting parallel investigation in some social media and also block such youtube channels which have been created for the purpose of propagating and spinning false theory.

21. On a careful perusal of all the reports, this Court is of the considered view that the efforts taken by the State on the aspect of investigation requires special mention. The State has left no stone unturned in the conduct of investigation and all efforts have been taken to bring to light the happenings, which has led to the sad demise of the deceased. This Court, while appreciating the Investigation Agency of the State, further directs that the investigation team shall ensure to file the final report before the concerned Magistrate at the earliest.
22. Post this matter on 27/9/2022.
