Livestreaming of Supreme Court's Constitution Bench Hearings From Sept 27
NDTV
People will be able to watch proceedings in major cases such as challenge to Citizenship Amendment Act and quota to Upper Castes on economic basis
The Supreme Court will livestream all Constitutional Bench hearings from September 27, which means anyone can watch the proceedings in cases such as the challenges to the Citizenship Amendment Act and the revocation of special status under Article 370 to Jammu and Kashmir, and the quota to Upper Castes on economic basis.
This is a major decision since the new Chief Justice of India (CJI), Uday Umesh Lalit, took office, though a tangible step was taken on August 26, when proceedings from the the then Chief Justice NV Ramana's court were livestreamed on his last day in office.
Justice UU Lalit recently presided over a full court meeting where judges unanimously decided that live-streaming should begin with constitutional cases, and could later cover all proceedings.
