The Supreme Court on Tuesday decided to stream live all hearings by its constitution bench from September 27. Six high courts in the country already stream their proceedings live.
The decision came a week after lawyer Indira Jaising wrote to Chief Justice UU Lalit suggesting livestreaming of hearings to combat fake news. Jaising was one of the petitioners who had asked the court in 2018 to stream its proceedings live. And the top court live streamed its proceedings for the first time on August 26, the day previous CJI NV Ramanna’s term ended.
