The Priyadarshini Mattoo's case is an outstanding example of the importance of media's role in obtaining justice for common people. In this case, the convict Santosh Kumar, son of a police inspector, though found guilty of murdering the victim Priyadarshini, was earlier acquitted by the trial court in 1999. However strong public opinion & continuous pressure by the media forced a re-opening of the case. Eventually, on 17th October 2006, the Delhi High Court awarded him capital punishment.
