The e-Committee, Supreme Court of India envisages a judicial system that is more accessible, efficient, and equitable for every individual who engages with the justice delivery system. The right of access to justice, guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution encompasses the right to access live court proceedings.

To imbue greater transparency, inclusivity and foster access to justice, the e-Committee has undertaken the project of live streaming of court proceedings on priority. This will enable access to live court proceedings, including on matters of public interest to citizens, journalists, civil society, academicians, and law students on a real-time basis, which was not otherwise possible owing to geographical, logistical, or infrastructural issues.

The e-Committee, Supreme Court of India invites inputs, feedback, and suggestions on the Draft Model Rules for Live-Streaming and Recording of Court Proceedings.

Click here to read the Draft Model Rules for Live-Streaming and Recording of Court Proceedings.

The last date to receive Suggestions/Inputs is 30th June 2021.

Concerns: Lack of technical manpower in courts and awareness amongst litigants, advocates and their acceptance to the system change. A huge concern will be the cyber security threat. The live streaming of the Courts are susceptible to abuses. Thus, issues of privacy may arise. Infrastructure, especially the internet connectivity is also a big challenge in implementing the live proceedings of Courts.

The Supreme Court in Swapnil Tripathi v Supreme Court of India (2018) had ruled in favour of opening up the apex court through live-streaming.

The Rules are part of the National Policy and Action Plan for implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the judiciary. The Rules would cover live-streaming and recording of proceedings in High Courts, lower courts and tribunals. Earlier, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based portal ‘SUPACE’ in the judicial system aimed at assisting judges with legal research.

Now it is high time to get completely digitalise Indian Judiciary system. Which will be more transparent and young lawyers will adopt the system. One examination should be conducted by the Supreme Court for affiliation of lawyers.Those who passed before may appear in any digital court.A benchmark should be there. In lower court some kind of uneducated people like broker ruling now, that should be stopped. little Law line zayada.This thing is going on. It has to be changed. Worlds lawyer welcome
