a
webcast
portal.

The
top
court
in
2018
had
allowed
live
streaming
of
court
proceedings
of
cases
of
constitutional
and
national
importance,
saying
this
openness
was
like
“sunlight”
which
is
the
“best
disinfectant”.

PM’s
security
breach:
What
is
the
Blue
Book
that
SC
sought
changes
in

It
had
said
as
a
pilot
project,
only
a
specified
category
of
cases
which
are
of
constitutional
or
national
importance
and
are
being
argued
before
a
constitution
bench,
should
be
live
streamed.

Attorney
General
K
K
Venugopal
had
earlier
suggested
that
live
streaming
of
important
cases
in
the
Chief
Justice’s
court
can
be
started
on
a
pilot
basis.

The
Attorney
General
had
said
the
process
can
be
adopted
in
other
court
rooms
depending
on
the
success
of
the
pilot
project.
