New Delhi: The Supreme Court has ruled on the Election Commission's plea against the Madras High Court's remarks. The apex court has filed an application by the Election Commission to restrain the media from court proceedings. Justice Chandrachud said the delicate question of balancing the rights of the two constitutional authorities has raised questions about the role of the media.

He has said that "Open access to court is the basis of constitutional freedom, Article 191A covers freedom of the press, freedom of expression has also been included to cover court proceedings." Justice D Chandrachud said the Internet has revolutionized courtroom reporting, now people have become more digitally orated and focus on the Internet for information. The court said it would therefore not be good to prevent a new medium from reporting proceedings. Justice Chandrachud said the International Court of Justice has allowed live streaming, Gujarat HC has also allowed it to do so.

The court said that the comments made during the hearing are not part of the verdict, but part of the solution and those who make contrary elections on the views of both sides, if this expression is discouraged, the process of justice will stop.
