The Telangana High Court has written to the State Government asking it to publish rules on Telangana High Court Live Streaming and Recording Of Court Proceedings in the official gazette.
It was also informed to the Government that the Chief Justice of the High Court has approved the rules for Live Streaming of court proceedings and they shall be deemed to have come into effect on May 1, 2022.
It may be noted that Telangana HC Advocate Srilekha Poojari had moved a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) plea last year seeking a direction to the HC to frame the concerned rules as per the directions of the Supreme Court. In Feb 2022, the Court had asked the HC administration to file a reply in the matter.
It was in 2018 that the Supreme Court approved in principle the concept of live-streaming of important court hearings. However, it is yet to be implemented.
Gujarat High Court became the first court to begin live-streaming proceedings through YouTube. Presently, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Patna High Courts are live-streaming their Court proceedings on YouTube.
The decision to telecast court proceedings comes in the backdrop of the Supreme Court's verdict in Swapnil Tripathi v. Supreme Court of India, permitting live streaming of court hearings. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant", the Top Court had remarked therein.
