Supreme Court Warns Against Unauthorized Use and Alteration of Court Proceedings Online
The Supreme Court of India, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, reiterated that unauthorized publication or alteration of court proceedings, especially for commercial gain or with false statements, may amount to contempt or criminal offense. The court emphasized that petitioners must first seek removal of such content through legal remedies and social media intermediaries before approaching the Supreme Court. Interim orders prohibit dissemination or monetization of court audio-video clips without prior permission, while recognized media coverage remains permitted under specific conditions.
