Supreme Court to live-stream all hearings, new app for streaming in final testing phase
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of India is gearing up to live-stream all its hearings, marking a major step towards transparency in the judiciary. Sources revealed that an app is currently in the testing phase to facilitate live streaming of all benches of the Supreme Court.
While live streaming of Constitution Bench matters has been in place since 2022, this move aims to expand the practice to include daily hearings of all benches. This initiative, once implemented, will provide the public with direct access to the court's proceedings, marking the first time regular hearings are being considered for live-streaming on such a scale.
This significant step is seen as a boost to judicial transparency and accessibility, allowing citizens to witness the legal process firsthand.
