The aim of live-streaming court proceedings is to bring greater transparency to the judicial process. The Supreme Court of India has already begun live-streaming certain cases. Additionally, several other High Courts — including those of Gujarat, Karnataka, and Odisha — have also started live-streaming their proceedings.
