The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has formed a new panel to oversee the live streaming of its hearings, aiming to increase transparency and public access to judicial proceedings.
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court announced today that it has reconstituted the committee tasked with managing the live streaming of its courtroom proceedings. The decision follows earlier initiatives to digitise court activities and make judgments more accessible to the public.
The newly formed panel will supervise the technical setup, ensure compliance with privacy and security guidelines, and coordinate with media outlets for broader dissemination. Court officials said the move is intended to foster greater transparency and allow citizens to follow landmark cases in real time.
Legal experts welcomed the step, noting that live streaming can demystify judicial processes and strengthen public confidence in the justice system. The High Court has not disclosed the names of the panel members, but confirmed that the arrangement will be operational within the next few weeks.
The initiative aligns with broader reforms across Indian courts to adopt digital tools for case management and public outreach. Stakeholders are expected to monitor the rollout closely to address any technical or procedural challenges.
