Journalist taking notes in the Supreme Court of India
The Supreme Court of India has issued a clarification stating that its recent interim order, which imposed restrictions on the sharing and uploading of audio and video clips from court hearings, does not impede news organizations from reporting on judicial proceedings. The court emphasized that the restriction specifically pertains to the use of recorded audio and video material in news reports, while the routine journalistic coverage of court proceedings remains unaffected.
This clarification aims to alleviate concerns within the media fraternity regarding their ability to cover and disseminate information about court activities. The judicial body seeks to balance the need for orderly conduct within the courtroom with the public’s right to information through traditional reporting methods.
