Live-streaming of Supreme Court proceedings
The decision on live-streaming of Supreme Court proceedings was first made on September 26, 2018.
A three-judge bench has decided that the live-streaming of the proceedings can be allowed except in sensitive cases.
Now, the decision is going to be implemented after a gap of almost four years. Several high courts in the country had already implemented the live-streaming of the proceedings.
High Courts of Gujarat, Orissa, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Patna, and Madhya Pradesh have implemented live streaming of proceedings.
