New Delhi: From today you will be able to watch the Supreme Court hearing live. The live streaming of the hearing of the cases of the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court is starting today. In the full court meeting led by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court UU Lalit on Tuesday, it was decided that live streaming of the proceedings would be done. These proceedings can be viewed through this link http://webcast.gov.in/scindia/.
In fact, the apex court’s decision on September 26, 2018, on a plea by a law student, allowed live-streaming of court proceedings in matters of constitutional and national importance. The court had said that this openness is like ‘sunlight’ which is the ‘best disinfectant’.
Let us inform you that in July last year, the then CJI of the Supreme Court NV Ramana said that the live-streaming of the Supreme Court proceedings may start soon. The logistics are being worked out to enable this. Justice Ramana had said during the virtual launch of the live-streaming of the Gujarat High Court proceedings. The Supreme Court is thinking of starting live streaming of some courts. High Court has gone live.
Justice Ramana had said that at present people get information about the court proceedings through the media. He had said that the information of the courts is actually being filtered by the agents of the broadcast. In this process, sometimes transmission loss occurs.
