Supreme Court Justice Abhay Sreeniwas Oka has reportedly expressed support for the live-streaming of court hearings. 'Let us have transparency. Nothing wrong in transparency,' Justice Oka said. He was delivering a lecture on the 'Importance of Ethics in Legal Profession' at the Bombay High Court on Saturday, according to LiveLaw. The event had been organized by the Advocates Association of Western India.
Context Why does this story matter?
Back in 2018, the SC had given an in-principle nod to the live-streaming of court hearings in Swapnil Tripathi vs. Supreme Court of India. However, modalities for the same are yet to be defined and the process awaits implementation. Justice Oka explained the push for live-streaming court proceedings by noting that parliamentary proceedings are already live-streamed in India.
