What can be described as an unusual development in the country’s judicial history, Chief Justice (CJ) Athar Minallah of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has decided to allow live streaming of the court proceedings, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Friday.
In compliance with the CJ’s order, the IT department of the IHC has even installed the system in his courtroom, while today hearings of different cases will be shown live on a trial basis.
If remained successful, people would be able to watch court proceedings live on a website.
CJ Minallah has even invited suggestions from the court reporters in order to make the ‘initiative’ successful.
He has directed the IHC Journalists Association to assist him in this regard.
