CJI Gavai Launches Live Streaming at Bombay High Court, Free Wi‑Fi Also Launched

On July 5, 2025, Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai inaugurated live‑streaming of Bombay High Court proceedings, effective from July 7.

Initially, the hearings before five benches, including those of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe & Justice Sandeep Marne, and Justices Revati Mohite‑Dere & Neela Gokhale, will be broadcast live on YouTube. 

The move aims to promote transparency and public access to court proceedings. A comprehensive rulebook restricts recording, except for news dissemination, training, and academic purposes, and exempts sensitive matters like matrimonial and POCSO cases. 

Alongside the streaming launch, free Wi‑Fi and internet services were inaugurated to benefit lawyers, litigants, staff, and the media.
