Supreme Court Asks J&K&L HC To Install Proper VC Facilities In Jammu Court Holding Trial Against Yasin Malik

The Supreme Court directed the Jammu and Kashmir High Court to ensure that proper video conferencing (VC) facilities are installed for the trial of separatist leader Yasin Malik. Malik faces charges related to terrorism and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The Court’s order comes after concerns about his ability to participate in the trial due to security and logistical reasons. It emphasizes the need for accessible legal proceedings, ensuring the defendant’s right to a fair trial, and ensuring that trials in high-security cases are conducted effectively via VC technology.
