The e-Committee, Supreme Court of India envisages a judicial system that is more accessible, efficient, and equitable for every individual who engages with the justice delivery system. The right of access to justice, guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution encompasses the right to access live court proceedings.

To imbue greater transparency, inclusivity and foster access to justice, the e-Committee has undertaken the project of live streaming of court proceedings on priority. This will enable access to live court proceedings, including on matters of public interest to citizens, journalists, civil society, academicians, and law students on a real-time basis, which was not otherwise possible owing to geographical, logistical, or infrastructural issues.

The e-Committee, Supreme Court of India invites inputs, feedback, and suggestions on the Draft Model Rules for Live-Streaming and Recording of Court Proceedings.

Click here to read the Draft Model Rules for Live-Streaming and Recording of Court Proceedings.

The last date to receive Suggestions/Inputs is 30th June 2021.

According to me there are following pros and cons of this rule: 1.PROS- Transparency, Understandability, Reliability, Convenient, Witness Credibility, Cost effective, reduction in thousands of petitions etc. 2. CONS- IT Security issues, Control issues, Breach of data security, Problems in protecting integrity of testimony, illegal recording, Risk to confidentiality etc. The rule for live streaming and recording of hearing in its present form may require severe modification and steps.

Well recently we hv seen crimes during live streaming. I hope court prevail justice in such cases within 1month. same for cctv or recording.and specially under rape cases live streaming of cases is better. and govt nd court make death sentence in these cases. nothing has changed or improved if we see the number of cases nd the verdict they received. even punishment is not severe. girls r left with a life which cannot be considered living death is better than living but they breath 4 justice
