In Harshita Grover v. Union of India & Others, the Supreme Court issued an interim direction prohibiting the uploading, clipping, editing, reposting, dissemination, or monetisation of audio-video recordings of court proceedings without prior permission. The Court clarified that livestreaming promotes transparency but does not permit unrestricted digital exploitation or commercial use. It expressed concern that selective clips, AI-generated deepfakes, and manipulated recordings could misrepresent judicial proceedings and undermine public confidence. The restriction does not affect fair and accurate news reporting. Permission must be obtained from the Secretary General of the Supreme Court or the concerned High Court’s Registrar General before sharing official court recordings.
