Live streaming of proceedings takes court to homes of common citizens: SC

The Supreme Court Tuesday said live streaming of its proceedings has taken the court to the homes and hearts of common citizens and it is trying to use technology to ensure the live-streamed content is made available simultaneously in languages other than English so more people can follow.

A five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud observed this while hearing arguments for the eighth-day on a batch of petitions seeking legal validation for same-sex marriage.

Senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, appearing for Madhya Pradesh, said an important fallout of the proceedings is that there is a churning in society, and because of this debate and live streaming in different corners of the country, people are thinking about the issue.
