The Supreme Court issues a clarification on an earlier interim order regarding media coverage of court proceedings. Responding to what it describes as “confusion” created by a July 24 direction, the court states that “recognised” media outlets are allowed to report on court proceedings, but they cannot use or share audio and video clips of hearings. The Bench, headed by Chief Justice of India D. Y. Chandrachud’s predecessor—reported as Chief Justice Surya Kant—frames the clarification to ensure the July 24 interim order is not read as a blanket prohibition on court reporting. In the updated position, outlets may cover hearings through permissible reporting, but the circulation or utilisation of recorded audio-video footage from court proceedings is restricted. The court’s order is intended to clarify the scope of the earlier direction and to define what is permitted for recognised media in relation to court hearings. The ruling is presented as an interpretive clarification rather than a wholesale change to the earlier order’s intent.
