The Kerala High Court has held that lawyers being allowed to attend court proceedings through video conferencing does not mean that they can record and circulate the court proceedings.
Justice P. Gopinath of the Kerala HC mulled contempt action against Adv Matthews Nedumpura’s conduct in recording and circulating court proceedings through WhatsApp.
The bench observed that such action primary facie constitutes contempt of court as it lowers the dignity of the court and is prohibited under the relevant rules.
To this, advocate Nedumpura has argued that it is his right.
