Supreme Court to soon launch live-streaming of regular bench hearings
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has initiated live-streaming of proceedings from all benches in a test format on Friday, October 18. For the first time, hearings from all benches were streamed live, accessible through the Court's own application instead of its official YouTube channel.
Previously, only Constitution Bench matters and hearings of significant public interest were live-streamed. Recently, the live-streaming was extended to include the 3-judge bench hearings on the NEET-UG matter and the RG Kar suo motu case, both due to public interest. The official launch of live-streaming for all benches is yet to be announced.
The move follows the 2018 landmark judgment in Swapnil Tripathi v. Supreme Court of India, where the Court allowed virtual access to proceedings, directing live streaming of cases of constitutional and national importance, except in matters involving juveniles, sexual assault, and matrimonial disputes.
The first live-streamed case was the EWS quota case in 2022, concerning pleas challenging the 103rd Constitutional Amendment. With the Supreme Court expanding live-streaming to regular benches, the public will soon have access to regular court proceedings.
Several High Courts have also adopted live-streaming including the Karnataka High Court.
