The caretaker Sindh government will introduce the facility of live streaming of court proceedings in the province.
The announcement to this effect was made by the caretaker provincial law minister, Barrister Muhammad Omer Soomro, as he addressed a gathering of lawyers of the Hyderabad district bar on Thursday.
The interim minister said that the administration was making every effort to address the legitimate issues facing the legal community first. In order to secure the interim chief minister’s consent for the idea of livestreaming court hearings, he claimed he would email him a synopsis.
Soomro told the audience that the livestreaming would enable the people to know about the cases being adjudicated in any court. Soon, the courts would be digitised and made online so that people sitting far away could attend hearings through mobile phones or laptops, the minister added.
He said that owing to the livestreaming facility, there would not be any interruption in the court proceedings owing to the commonly occurring issues like the lawyers and litigants being in another city.
