Hc suggested a man mad because he recorded court proceeding

 

The Delhi high court has sent a businessman to two weeks of mental treatment on Wednesday for recording court proceedings in his mini tape recorder.

 

 

 

 

 

Justice Suresh Kait said Deepak Khosla, who is fighting 20 cases in courts, "needed check up" at Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS), saying he had been continuously disrespecting the court orders telling him not to record proceedings.

 

 

 

The judge, who had seized the tape recorder on December 23, had told Khosla to appear before him on Wednesday. Terming the order "absurd" and an "affront on campaign for greater transparency in working of judiciary", his lawyer Prashant Bhushan said an appeal will be filed.

Bhushan said he will argue Khosla's review petition against an order of the court of August 2011. The then chief justice's bench had dismissed Khosla's plea for permitting lawyers and litigants to audio and video record court proceedings in high court and subordinate courts.

"An effort has been made to give sermon in the name of transparency. An individual sermon cannot attain status of law…such a direction cannot be issued in the absence of legislative enactment," chief justice Dipak Misra and justice Sanjiv Khanna had said adding Khosla, a businessman did not have a "legal right" in this regard.

Interestingly, while referring Khosla's plea to the chief justice's bench, justice SN Dhingra of the court (now retired) had said on February 28 last year that the "step will also be deterrent against judges who do not come to courts on time as then there will be evidence against in this regard in the form of CDs and cassettes".

On April 8, 2010, Khosla had succeeded in taping at least 100 minutes of hearing of his case before the judges ordered seizure of the recorder.

https://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Man-sent-to-mental-institute-for-recording-court-proceedings/Article1-791341.aspx

I think that this judge of HC has sent this brave/wise man to the Mad house just to make him a vegetable/mad, what wrong he has done, he has just recorded the Court Proceeding, why the Judge became so angry .

Why in the first place it is not allowed to record Court's proceeding, Only because the judges are afraid that there dishonest and Foolish faces will be disclosed to one and all. 

This Man is not that who need mental treatment, it is this judge and our judicial system that need treatment.

Please contribute....

- if it is open court, one, very perticularly, the person who is party of  the case has the full right to record it's proceedings. as a courtse he may pray for the same, and in case of refusal one should go to higher court against this proceeding.

 

IF THE COURT IS IN CAMERA, perties may be deprived from the above facility.

Beginning with the October 2006 Term, the Court will make the transcriptts of oral
arguments available free to the public on its Website, www.supremecourtus.gov, on the same
day an argument is heard by the Court.
The Court’s contracted reporting service, Alderson Reporting Company1, with the aid of
a court reporter in the Courtroom and high-speed technology, will transcribe the oral arguments
more quickly, therefore, providing the transcriptts to the Court for same day posting on our
website.
Transcriptts will be listed by case name and the date of oral argument. Transcriptts are
permanently archived beginning with the 2000 Term on the Court’s Website. Transcriptts prior to
the 2000 Term are maintained in the Supreme Court Library.
After Alderson completes an oral argument transcriptt and provides copies to the Court it
is sent to Westlaw and added to their collection. Westlaw’s collection includes oral argument
transcriptts since 1990, which subscribers can access through the SCT-ORALARG database2.
Such oral argument transcriptts are also available on the Lexis-Nexis service. Lexis-Nexis'
collection includes all oral argument transcriptts since the beginning of the October 1979 Term.

contains the transcriptts of every oral argument since the beginning of the 1968 Term and a
random selection of transcriptts from oral arguments before the 1968 Term dating back to 1935.
Photocopies cost ten cents per page. In addition to its oral argument transcriptts, the Library’s
collection includes records and briefs from 1832 to the present.5
The Court also makes its own set of oral argument recordings. This set of recordings is
kept in the Marshal’s Office for the remainder of the Term, during which time it is not available
to the general public. At the beginning of the next Term, the recordings are transmitted from the
Marshal to the Motion Picture, Sound, and Video Branch of the National Archives. The
Archives’ collection contains audio recordings of Supreme Court oral arguments from 1955
through the immediately preceding October Term. Members of the public can listen to or make
their own copies of oral argument recordings using their own tape recorders, blank tapes, and
patch cords at the Motion Picture, Sound, and Video Branch. Copies of recordings can also be
purchased from the Archives.6 To listen to or purchase a copy of a recording, the Archives asks
that individuals requesting recordings provide the case title, Supreme Court case number, and
date of the oral argument. Although no formal appointment is required to listen to recordings,
the Archives recommends that individuals interested in retrieving copies make sure the Archives
has a “reference copy” of the particular argument they are looking for prior to visiting the
Motion Picture, Sound, and Video Branch.
Many recordings of oral arguments are also available on the Oyez Project website created
and maintained by Professor Jerry Goldman of Northwestern University.7 This website allows
access to approximately 588 cases through the use of the RealNetwork’s RealPlayer. The cases
cover a wide range of time periods and areas of constitutional law and are digitized from actual
copies of the official argument tapes held by the National Archives. To access arguments
through the website, click on “Cases” on the homepage to search by title, citation, subject, or
date. The website offers new audio materials from a Term approximately 10 months after the
end of that Term.
Many Supreme Court oral argument recordings and/or transcriptts are also available in
published collections that can be purchased. The multi-volume set, Landmark Briefs and
Arguments of the Supreme Court of the United States: Constitutional Law, edited by Professors
Gerald Gunther and Gerhard Casper, contains oral argument transcriptts and all written briefs
submitted to the Court (including amicus curiae briefs) for major cases in constitutional law that
are considered “landmark” cases by the editors. Purchases must be made by volume (not by

Narender JI, Can you please describe the central point of your post?

If you mean to say that there is some provision of recording the verbal argumentation or proceedings of Courts in writitngs by Court Staff then certainly I do know that it is not done in each and every Court case and it will never serve the purpose, what a clear video recording of  the Court proceedings can serve, moreover such recordings should be availabe for one and all on demand on reasonable payment.

Narendra Sharma (Consultant)     08 January 2012

The central point of my post is that recording of ORAL Court Proceedings is in vogue in USA since 1935, hence there should be no hesitation in our country.

Radhey (Owner)     08 January 2012

Narender Ji, By recording do you mean --VDO recording ???

Narendra Sharma (Consultant)     09 January 2012

Yes, by recording I mean --preferably VDO recording and --to start with at least Audio recording.

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     10 January 2012

Parliament proceedings are recorded and telecast. Why this hesitation in judiciary?

Narender Ji You said,"Yes, by recording I mean --preferably VDO recording and --to start with at least Audio recording."


That means you have said the same thing which I am saying and in other words you are supporting the idea that this Judge who has sent a man to Mental House just because he was recording Court proceeeding and was in support of recording Court proceeding , is wrong.


Thanks for your sharing.

Don't say a word about judiciary. 

Radhey (Owner)     11 January 2012

Mr. Anil, that is something again Very wrong.The judiciary should also be opened to one and all, they are not Gods.


Judicial Accountability Bill......And you say ," Do not say a word about Judiciary"


Ha!

Please try to understand the subtle meaning.
