Notes

  • The Supreme Court of India live-streamed oral mentionings in the Chief Justice of India's court with the audio feed muted on a recent Friday.
  • The control room issued a notification stating the audio was stopped per direction in Court 1.
  • Video feed remained active, but oral exchanges between the Bench and lawyers were inaccessible to the public and media.
  • The CJI has previously characterized oral mentioning as an administrative exercise rather than a judicial proceeding.
  • Oral mentioning is a daily routine where lawyers request urgent hearings, often concerning fundamental rights, life, and liberty.
