Supreme Court Cracks Down: No More Cameras Inside
The Supreme Court of India has issued a stringent new directive, effectively banning photography, videography, and social media content creation within its high-security premises. This sweeping order, issued on September 12, 2025, aims to enhance security and maintain the sanctity of the court.
The court has designated specific low-security zones for media interviews. Journalists are now required to conduct all interviews within these designated areas.
Any violation of this order will result in strict sanctions. This includes restricted access for errant media organisations and disciplinary action against individuals found flouting the rules. The court has made it clear that this new policy will be rigorously enforced.
This move comes amidst growing concerns about security and the potential for misuse of technology within the court complex. The impact will be felt across the media landscape, requiring a significant shift in reporting practices around Supreme Court proceedings. The long-term consequences for access to justice and public understanding of the judiciary remain to be seen.
