Supreme Court Allows Reporting of Court Proceedings but Restricts Use of Audio-Video Clips

Supreme Court Allows Reporting of Court Proceedings but Restricts Use of Audio-Video ClipsPreviousNext

The Supreme Court clarified on July 31 that recognised news outlets may continue reporting on judicial proceedings but cannot use or share audio-video clips of court hearings without prior permission. This follows an interim order from July 24 that barred unauthorised recording, dissemination, and monetisation of court audio-video content on social media and digital platforms. The court emphasized that the restriction applies only to the use of such clips in reportage, not to the reporting itself, and indicated plans to establish a protocol for sharing livestreamed proceedings.
