The Supreme Court on July 24, 2026, issued an interim order barring extraction, modification, monetization, posting, reposting, or uploading of audio-video recordings of judicial proceedings on social media or other platforms without prior permission from the Secretary General or relevant Registrar General. The order, passed by a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V. Mohana, stems from a public interest litigation filed by journalist Harshita Grover and exempts formal news reporting. All courts were directed to display the order on their websites while responses from the Centre and others are sought.
