Supreme Court Bans Photos, Videos and Reels in High Security Zone, Limits Media to Designated Lawn

The court’s September 10 circular cites complaints about indiscriminate videography, aligning with recent bar efforts to curb influencer-style conduct.

Overview

  • The Secretary General issued the directive on September 10 with immediate effect, preserving exceptions for official use only.
  • Media interviews and live broadcasts are confined to the designated lawn in the Low Security Zone near the compound’s outer gates.
  • Security personnel are empowered to stop any individual, including staff and advocates, from taking photographs or recording videos inside the restricted area.
  • Violations trigger disciplinary action: bar bodies for advocates, litigants, interns and law clerks; up to a one‑month access suspension for media; departmental action for registry staff and other stakeholders.
  • The move builds on a September 1 SCBA resolution and earlier Bar Council directives aimed at stopping reel‑making and promotional legal content on court premises.
