The Supreme Court has set up a committee to look into modalities of live streaming all court proceedings. The four-member committee will look into the technical and financial requirements of setting-up live streaming of court proceedings and the concerns relating to security and privacy. The desire of the common man to peek into the inner workings of a court case could come true soon. A week after the Gujarat High court started live streaming of proceedings of the Chief Justice Court, the Supreme Court has set up a committee to look into modalities of live streaming all court proceedings. The four-member committee will look into the technical and financial requirements of setting-up live streaming of court proceedings and the concerns relating to security and privacy. Justice DY Chandrachud, head of the e-Committee of the Supreme Court has set up a sub-committee to address these issues. The committee is likely to look into live streaming not only of Supreme Court proceedings but also of high courts and trial courts. This comes more than two years after a bench headed by then CJI Dipak Mishra had directed that modalities be considered for live streaming of court proceedings, and the Attorney General had recommended that "cases of national importance" in particular could be live-streamed. On 26 October, when the Gujarat High court had started live streaming on an "experimental basis", a three-judge bench of the Apex court, headed by CJI SA Bobde, including justice Chandrachud, had also discussed the issue of expanding video-conferencing facilities across all district courts and possible live streaming of court proceedings. The CJI had however expressed some reservations regarding live streaming, referring to "complaints" received by him regarding the video-conferencing and the process for live streaming. On October 26, the CJI and Justice Chandrachud had also pointed out that for expansion of video-conferencing, as well as for live streaming, dedicated high-speed fibre optic networks, or access to communication satellites would be required.
