Special Judge Ajay Gupta of the fast-track court established at Rouse Avenue Court said that "something needs to be done in this regard".

"Jo cheezein discuss hi nhi hui jo cheezein sirf chargesheet ka part hain wo ek tareek se technically you can say is under scrutiny. It’s a big shocker for me, you know? Something has to be done in this regard. (For things that have not been discussed but are part of the chargesheet, you can say they are under scrutiny. It’s a big shocker for me, you know? Something has to be done in this regard.),” the Court remarked.

The Court said that it is the responsibility of all the stakeholders, including the media, that the trial is not prejudiced.

"Main to ek baat keh raha hu open court me...dekho media ki bhi ek zimmedari banti hai. Hamari sab ki zimmedari banti hai trial jis tareeke se criminal law me likha hai waise honi chahiye. Koi bhi prejudice nhi hona chahiye. To main to sab logo se kahunga ki agar aesi reporting hai to, they should not do such things (I am saying this in open court...see, media also has a responsibility. It is the responsibility of all of us that the trial should proceed in the manner in which it is mandated under criminal law. No one should be prejudiced. So, I will say this all of you: if there is any such reporting, it should not be done.)," the Court added.
