Does the sex crime accused has the right to protect his identity....?

Views:  Assaram Case is highly sensitive and shocking . He has  lakh of followers across  world.
So,  this kind of allegation has great  news value.  Media will do much coverage  naturally.
However, if supreme court issue some guideline related to the sex crime reporting that  may be a
fair to the accused.
Recently one person approached supreme court for getting back his social reputation.
He had been framed in a  rape case by some police officers as a revenge. He was acquitted by the court. However, the society was not ready to accept his as a innocent person . People see him as a rapist. In that situation he approached the supreme court for getting back the reputation. This case was  reported by national Media.

In rape cases, victim identity is protected by law. However, the identity of the accused does not has this kind of protection. As per the law , every accused has to be considered as innocent till his guilty is proved.

If somebody framed falsely in a rape case , his  reputation  will be  lost for life long -whether he punished or acquitted is not a matter.  The is a serious matter to be addressed .
Let the court  find who is the guilty. The identity of the convict should be exposed after the punishment.

Leave the Assram Case. He  has people power and money power.
If Assram is guilty ,he should be punished.
But most cases , the accused is   very bad condition  in  financially and emotionally  to manage the issue.
we should keep zero tolerance against the  sex crimes . Same time ,the innocent people should be protected from the false accusation.

The court told Asaram's counsel he had other remedies and the apex court was not the only destination as it was told that media was reporting that the spiritual guru's wife and daughter were supplying him girls.
Counsel told the court that he was not seeking to restrain the entire media, but only two news channels which were regularly carrying slanderous reports about Asaram.
