Today, On 5th July, CJI BR Gavai inaugurated live streaming of Bombay High Court proceedings on YouTube, enabling real-time public access to five benches. The launch also included free Wi-Fi and internet facilities within the High Court premises for better connectivity.
Following the viral circulation of two controversial videos of Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda, the Advocates’ Association of Bengaluru has requested a suspension of live-streaming court proceedings. They urged Chief Justice NV Anjaria to take immediate action to protect the court’s image, advocating for a halt until there is clarity on what can be expressed in open court.
