Delhi High Court Seeks Removal of Unauthorised Court Clips from Social Media

The Delhi High Court administration has directed city police to eliminate unauthorized videos of legal proceedings involving AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal from social media platforms. This directive follows complaints regarding the circulation of these clips, particularly involving party leaders sharing the contentious content.

A senior High Court official reiterated the strict prohibition of recording legal proceedings without explicit permission. The official highlighted that measures are underway to address the breach across social media. This move aligns with previous actions reflecting the Court's unwavering stance on maintaining procedural integrity.

A complaint submitted to the High Court's Registrar General alleges unauthorized recording at an April 2026 hearing, where Kejriwal personally argued before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma. It claims the wide sharing of these clips aimed to manipulate public perception and damage judicial credibility. Provisions from relevant Delhi High Court rules were cited, urging a comprehensive investigation and punitive measures for rule violators.
