Supreme Court Mutes Livestream Audio (Img: pinterest)New Delhi: The Supreme Court has issued directions that there would be no sound in the live audio-visual feed of the court while mentioning new matters before the Chief Justice of India (CJI). Move to Distinguish Judicial Proceedings from Administrative ProceedingsThe recent direction of the Supreme Court distinguishes between the proceedings that take place in a courtroom and those made in administrative proceedings related to the management of the case. No explanation has been given by the court regarding the latest move, but the move reflects the fact that case mentions are administrative proceedings and not judicial ones. This development is yet another change in the policy of the Supreme Court towards live streaming.
