But, when we talk about its legal sense, it signifies a failure to exercise the standard of care which a reasonable man should, by law, have exercised in the given circumstances. So, Negligence can be described as a situation in which damage is caused to a person because of the careless act or omission of the other person. In other words, it is a failure to take proper care over something or breach of a duty of care which results in some damage.

Media has the power to ensure that the issues and grievances of the different sections of the society are reached to the government.  The tragic news of the demise of Bollywood actor, Sushant Singh Rajput was trailed by a commotion for the lamentable way the news was communicated by different conventional news channels of the nation.

A father who had quite recently lost his young child had a mic pushed into his face. Pictures of Sushant’s body were shared alongside realistic subtleties of how he took his life without even blurring his face. This shows how Indian media demonstrated its lack of ability to find ways only for TRP.

The principle of confession is one of the vital elements in law and only applicable in the criminal cases, and not in civil cases. The provision regarding confession finds its presence in various acts like the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (hereinafter IEA), CrPC, 1973, NDPS, etc. In legal phraseology, confession means acceptance of guilt by the accused. The substantive provision regarding confession has been laid down in IEA, but the Act doesn’t define the term “confession”, it only successfully differentiates between the two-term confession and admission. Confession has first been used in section 24, and subsequently in s.24-30. While the sections relevant for the admission are given between 17-31 of the Act. Hence, it follows that all admissions aren’t a confession, but all confessions are admission.
