Livestream audio muted in CJI’s court during oral mentioning as per directive

The Supreme Court of India's live-streaming audio feed for oral mentionings before the Chief Justice of India (CJI) was muted, as per a directive, while the video continued. The CJI had previously stated that mentionings are an 'administrative' exercise, not a judicial proceeding, and should not be reported. Oral mentionings are a routine where lawyers seek urgent hearings, often for cases involving fundamental rights. The Supreme Court also bars unauthorized recording and monetization of court videos.
