MP High Court Pauses Criminal Case Livestreaming
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has stopped live streaming criminal case hearings for now.
This is because someone complained that the streams were being used in a bad way on social media.
The court is letting people still watch the hearings through a link, but they can't record them.
The court will talk about this issue again on September 25th to decide what to do next.
The main goal is to make sure the court proceedings aren't misused.
Madhya Pradesh High Court has paused live streaming of criminal case hearings.
The pause is effective from September 15.
The decision follows a Public Interest Litigation (PIL).
The PIL claims misuse of streams on social media.
