The Delhi High Court has notified 'Streaming and Recording of Court Proceedings Rules of the High Court of Delhi, 2022' to set up infrastructure and framework to enable live streaming and recording of proceedings.
The Rules introduced via official gazette on 13th January are for “imbuing greater transparency, inclusivity and foster access to justice" as is stated.
The Rules define Live Streaming as “a live television link, webcast, audio-video transmissions via electronic means or other arrangements whereby any person can view the proceedings as permitted under the Rules.”
The Rules prohibits any person or entity, including print and electronic media and social media platforms, other than those authorised, to record, share or disseminate live streamed proceedings or archival data.
“This provision shall also apply to all messaging applications. Any person/entity acting contrary to this provision will be prosecuted as per law. The court shall have the exclusive copyright in the recordings and archival Data,” the Rules state.
It has been stated that any unauthorised usage of live stream will be punishable as an offence under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, Information Technology Act, 2000 and other provisions of law, including the law of contempt.
The live-stream shall not be reproduced, transmitted, uploaded, posted, modified, published or re-published in any form, without prior written authorisation of the court, the Rules specifies.
The Rules shall apply to the High Court and to all the courts and tribunals over which it has supervisory jurisdiction.
