Audio recording of court proceedings

Legal Correspondent

New Delhi: The Supreme Court is to introduce audio recording of the proceedings of important cases.

According to Secretary-General V.K. Jain, audio recording of the proceedings and arguments, particularly in matters in which the hearing goes on for several days, will help the judges in cross-checking arguments before delivering the judgment.

To begin with, the system will be introduced in the court of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan. After analysing its success, a decision will be taken to extend the facility to other court halls.
