Supreme Court allows aggrieved parties to seek removal of court clips on social media

The Supreme Court of India has ruled that individuals who feel harmed by court proceeding clips circulating on social media can seek their deletion. This marks a significant update to the court's earlier stance, which had banned uploads of court footage without prior approval from the Supreme Court or High Courts. The new directive provides a legal recourse for parties who believe such recordings violate their rights or cause them harm. The ruling balances the principles of open justice with the protection of individuals affected by the spread of court-related content online.
