THE SEMINAR ON THE VIDEO RECORDING OF COURT PROCEEDINGS BY NLC

Sir,

At a time when, world over the court proceedings are video recorded and even telecasted, where the telecast is evidently in public interest the High Court of Judicature at Bombay has been pleased to turn down the plea at the hands of Mr. Sunil Gupta,  an NLC activist and an IITian, seeking a declaration that the constitutional guarantee of Freedom of Speech take within it's ambit, a right in the citizen to have the proceedings of the Supreme Court and High Courts, and that of all Courts and Tribunals be video recorded, for all judicial proceedings are open to the public at large and from time immemorial, superior courts are known as ‘Courts of Record’.  The NLC, which is formed solely to campaign for greater transparency and accountability in judiciary considered the said judgment contrary to the overwhelming public opinion so too with at most respect to the Hon'ble judges, one without foundation in law. The NLC is conducting a deliberation on the said issue of monumental importance on Saturday, the 25th day of June, 2016 at the Press Club, Near CST (VT) Station, Mumbai, at 02:30 PM.  The veteran transparency activist and former information commission Shri. Sailesh Gandhi will deliver the keynote address. The anti corruption watchman, Hon'ble Mr.J.Tahiliani, the Lokayukta for Maharashtra will be the Chief Guest.

You are invited with friends and likeminded persons, to the meeting and also to partake in the deliberations. You will have a limited opportunity to speak on the occasion. 

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

Mumbai,
