Punjab and Haryana High Court Warns Against Unauthorized Recording of Court Proceedings

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued a strict warning against unauthorised recording of court proceedings in the High Court and district courts of Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh.

A public notice from the Registrar General states that any person or entity found recording proceedings without permission may face confiscation of electronic devices and contempt of court charges.

The order applies to in-person and virtual hearings.

Similar rules exist in other High Courts, with violations leading to punishment under the Copyright Act, IT Act, and contempt laws.
