A division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Ashok S Kinagi also allowed an intervention application filed by Mumbai based businessman, Amrish Kilachand. The intervener wanted to demonstrate the importance of live streaming proceedings and maintaining a legal transcript of the proceedings to the court.

The plea prays for directions to implement the judgment of the apex court regarding live streaming.
