Yes, Supreme Court hearings in India are live-streamed, but only select Constitution Bench proceedings are currently streamed live. Here are the key points: The Supreme Court began live-streaming Constitution Bench hearings from September 27, 2022. Live-streaming is done through the Supreme Court’s official YouTube channel and National Informatics Centre (NIC) portal. Not all cases are live-streamed — only important constitutional matters heard by Constitution Benches (bench of 5 or more judges) are live-streamed. The move is based on the 2018 judgment in Swapnil Tripathi v. Supreme Court of India, which upheld the public's right to access court proceedings. So, while routine matters and smaller benches are not live-streamed, major constitutional cases are accessible to the public online.

Dear Client, Live streaming is available for Supreme Court hearings but only in certain situations. After the ruling in the Swapnil Tripathi v. Supreme Court case. Live streaming of Supreme Court of India cases was implemented to encourage openness and public access to court proceedings. Constitution Bench cases and cases of national or constitutional significance are usually streamed live. Live streaming isn't available for every hearing though. To preserve public interest and privacy sensitive topics like marital conflicts, sexual offenses or national security are typically left out. A proceedings live-streaming status is decided by the bench hearing the case. I hope this answer helps. In case of future queries, please feel free to contact us. Thank you.
