Next week onwards, all constitution bench hearings in the Supreme Court will be live-streamed.

On Tuesday, a full court, which comprised all judges of the apex court, discussed the matter and decided on live-streaming proceedings.

Last week, senior advocate Indira Jaising wrote to the Chief Justice of India and other judges of the Supreme Court to begin live-streaming proceedings of matters of public and constitutional importance.

She also urged the court to keep a permanent record of the arguments by counsel on all sides along with the proceedings of the court.

The cases likely to be live-streamed include petitions challenging the EWS quota law, the Centre's petition on enhanced compensation for victims of 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, excommunication in the Dawoodi Bohra community, and the apex court's power to dissolve marriages on the ground of irretrievable breakdown.
