With an aim of bringing transparency in judicial proceedings, law Minister Kapil Sibal said working of trial courts should be audio recorded and discussions are on in this regard.
“We want that to bring transparency, at least the proceedings are audio recorded but Government cannot do this on its own. We will discuss it with judiciary, Chief Justices, because trial courts fall under High Courts and till HCs approve this, it cannot be
implemented. But our talks will continue,” Sibal said.
He said although the courts are public places, due to lack of recording facilities, nobody knows what is happening inside them. “In other countries, proceedings of the trial court are audio recorded but not in India,” Sibal added.
