Kerala High Court Prohibits Lawyers from Making Social Media Reels Featuring Court Premises
The Kerala High Court issued a June 3 notification prohibiting advocates from creating reels and videos featuring the court premises on social media, citing violations of the Advocates Act, 1961, and Bar Council of India (BCI) rules. The notice emphasized that such content undermines the dignity and ethics of the legal profession and contravenes rules against advertising legal services. Separately, the Delhi High Court faced disruptions when explicit content was shared during virtual hearings, prompting temporary suspension of the sessions.
