In a historic move, the Constitution Bench hearings in the Supreme Court is live-streamed from Tuesday.

In a unanimous decision taken at a recent full court meeting headed by the CJI, the apex court decided to live-stream proceedings of all constitution bench hearings from September 27, four years after the path-breaking announcement by Justice Misra.

On September 27, 2018, the then Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra had delivered the landmark judgement on the live telecast or webcast of important proceedings in matters of constitutional importance, saying “sunlight is the best disinfectant”.

On Monday, a bench headed by Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit said the top court will soon have its own “platform” to live-stream its proceedings instead of having to use the YouTube.

This will be the first time actual hearings in the court are livestreamed for public viewing. On August 26, proceedings before the ceremonial bench on the date of retirement of former CJI N V Ramana were livestreamed.

The proceedings can be watched in the Supreme Court's own platform webcast.gov.in/scandia/
