P R A Y E R

It is, therefore, this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to:

a)      Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction to the Respondents herein to take adequate steps and measures to introduce the system of video recording the proceedings of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, all the High Courts and their respective subordinate Courts and Tribunals in this country, as an authentic record of the proceedings, allow the copies of the said records to be issued to the public on demand paying of the costs, allow the court proceedings to be telecasted by the media, and also allow the same proceedings to be uploaded to the internet; and
if the said prayer is not admissible and maintainable for whatever reason as this Hon’ble Court may find proper, in the alternative without prejudice to the above, to allow the litigant public/parties to litigation to video record non-intrusively the proceedings in which they are parties at their own cost and effort and issue directions to the respondents not to interfere in any way to such non intrusive efforts, declaring that there is no illegality or misdemeanor  in such recording ;

b)      issue notice to the public at large in terms of order-I, Rule-8(ii) of the Code Of Civil Procedure, 1908, since the prayer sought for in the instant Writ Petition involve the interest of the public at large, though such a procedure is seldom observed by this court in PILs where the interest of the public at large are invariably involved ; and  

c)      pass such other order or orders, as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper under the facts and circumstances of the case.
