Today, Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, Alok Aradhe, announced that technical arrangements are underway to begin live-streaming court proceedings in select benches of the High Court.

The development came in response to a submission by Advocate Matthews J Nedumpara, who mentioned filing a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking live-streaming of the court's proceedings.

Responding to the plea, the Bench of Chief Justice Aradhe and Justice Sandeep V Marne stated:

“We have made substantial progress. The Full Court has passed a resolution for the live-streaming of certain courts. Technical arrangements are being made. First five courts will be live.”

The five benches identified for the initial phase of live-streaming are:

1. Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Sandeep V Marne

2. Justice R P Mohite-Dere and Justice Dr Neela Kedar Gokhale

3. Justice M S Sonak and Justice Jitendra Shantilal Jain

4. Justice Ravindra V Ghuge and Justice M M Sathaye

5. Justice A S Gadkari and Justice Rajesh S Patil

This move aligns with the judiciary's broader goal of enhancing transparency and accessibility in court proceedings.
