You can watch apex court trials live soon as SC is open to idea

Soon you can watch the Supreme Court proceedings live. Indicating that it was ready for live streaming of court proceedings, the SC on Friday said it wanted to implement the concept of “open court” to decongest the courtrooms.

“We don’t perceive any difficulty in live streaming. Let us first start with it and see how it goes. We are just on a pilot project. We are not ruling out anything and will improve with time. We cannot have everything together,” a Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud said.

The Bench reserved its verdict on the issue after Attorney  General KK Venugopal submitted suggestions on the guidelines for live streaming of court proceedings.

The Attorney General told the court that live streaming can be introduced as a pilot project in the CJI’s court in matters of constitutional importance.
