• CJI Surya Kant notes that audio-video clips of courtroom proceedings are still being uploaded despite court's order restraining such publication for commercial exploitation

    CJI: there are some channels, you think we will permit?

    Adv Mathews Nedumpara: I am uploading. Transparency has to be maintained

    Bhushan: Union has not filed response

    SG Mehta: I will place on record. But those YouTube channels which are still uploading - they may stop uploading

    Nedumpara -How can Solicitor General saying so? Mr SG you are doing very wrong. People have a right to know what's hapening in court. Proceedings have to remain open to public scrutiny

    CJI: Our order pertains to commercial exploitation. Court proceedings are not meant for commercial exploitation. Anything meant for public good should not be...mr SG, Union should file counter wrt measures to ensure there is no commercial exploitation and misrepresentation of the court proceedings. Only guidelines are required instead of directions.
