Chief Justice N.V. Ramana on Thursday said he was “actively” considering the proposal to live telecast the proceedings of the Supreme Court. The CJI, however, said before initiating concrete steps in this regard, he would seek general consensus among his colleagues in the top court. Justice Ramana was speaking at the launch of application for granting access of virtual proceedings of the Supreme Court to media persons. Recalling his days as a journalist, the CJI said media faces great challenges in reporting and came to know that journalists were depending on advocates to get links to cover court proceedings. Thus there was request to create a mechanism so that press could attend the hearings, he said.More Related News
