Even appeal proceedings seeking registration of FIR under SC/ST Act should be video recorded: Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court ordered that all appeal proceedings related to cases under the SC/ST Act must be video-recorded. This step aims to ensure transparency and accuracy in the judicial process, particularly for sensitive cases involving marginalized communities. The court's decision reflects growing concerns about the need for accountability in cases involving caste-based violence and discrimination. Video recording of proceedings provides an additional layer of oversight, ensuring that judicial processes are conducted fairly and without bias. This move sets a significant precedent for handling cases under the SC/ST Act.
