Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Saturday minced no words to say that electronic media in the country has zero accountability. 

Justice Ramana, who was speaking in Ranchi, said: "Of late, we see media running kangaroo courts, at times on issues even experienced judges find difficult to decide. Ill-informed & agenda driven debates on issues involving justice delivery are proving to be detrimental to health of democracy."
