The Madhya Pradesh High Court has temporarily paused live streaming of hearings of criminal cases from Monday (September 15, 2025), while hearing a PIL claiming they are being shown in a bad light and misused on social media.

The registry is directed to "forthwith stop the live streaming of all Benches hearing criminal matters till the next date of hearing," a division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Vinay Saraf said in an interim order on Friday.
