New Delhi: Two-judge bench of Justices AK Goel and UU Lalit of the Supreme Court ordered High Courts across India to ensure that CCTV cameras are installed in some courts under their jurisdiction.
The video recording facilities will initially be installed in at least two districts of each state and union territory.
Notably, the video recordings will not be accompanied by corresponding audio nor will they be available to general public under the Right To Information Act. The videos will only be released to the public under the express directives of the respective High Courts.
The Supreme Court also indicated that it would take the matter forward after examining how its current directive to High Courts gets implemented.
