The Supreme Court on Friday barred the recording, extraction, modification, dissemination, monetisation and circulation of live-streamed courtroom proceedings without prior permission from the concerned court authorities, citing growing misuse of judicial videos on social media. The interim order, passed by a three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant while hearing a PIL, also prohibits reposting and reviewing such recordings across digital platforms without approval from the Registrar or Secretary General of the Supreme Court or the Registrar General of High Courts. The court clarified that the restriction will not affect legitimate news reporting and is aimed solely at preventing unauthorised use of judicial proceedings online. (PC: The Indian Express)
