In a historic move, the Supreme Court has for the first time permitted news cameramen to film proceedings during the 7-session special Lok Adalat. This decision marks a significant shift from the court’s 2022 announcement to live-stream constitutional proceedings. The Supreme Court stated that this measure aims to enhance transparency in the judicial process.
The decision has been broadly welcomed, with many advocating that it will allow the public to view the arguments presented by judges and lawyers during trials. This development will also enable live coverage of investigative processes on news channels.
