Delhi High Court Dismisses Petition for Live Streaming of Court Proceedings

The Delhi High Court recently dismissed a writ petition seeking the live streaming of court hearings, observing that the matter is already being examined on the administrative side by the Court.

The Court also observed that these concerns were previously noticed in the case of CA Rakesh Kumar Gupta v. Delhi High Court, where the court declined a similar plea to implement the live-streaming of court hearings.

In addition to this, Justice Sachin Datta highlighted the infrastructural and security concerns, including the misuse of live stream videos on social media by content creators.

Hence, the petition was dismissed.
