2026:UHC:4749 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPCRL No.28 of 2026 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J. Mr. Chirag Goswami, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J.P. Kandpal, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Parikshit Saini, Advocate for respondent no.4. 2. The present writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to the police authorities to register a First Information Report against respondent nos. 4 and 9. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had lodged a complaint against respondent nos.4 and 9 before the concerned police authorities; however, no First Information Report has been registered thereon. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. In the event the police authorities have failed to register the First Information Report on the basis of the complaint submitted by the petitioner, an efficacious statutory remedy is available to the petitioner under Section 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, by approaching the jurisdictional Magistrate. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to petitioner to avail the remedy available under Section 175(3) of the B.N.S.S., 2023 and approach the competent Magistrate, if so advised. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner then submits that, during the pendency of the present writ petition, the live-streaming of proceedings of this Court was recorded and 2026:UHC:4749 circulated by respondent nos.4 and 9 through a WhatsApp group, of which respondent no. 4 is stated to be the administrator. It is contended that recording and unauthorized dissemination of court proceedings is impermissible under the Rules governing live-streaming of Court proceedings and may amount to interference with the administration of justice, attracting proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. 7. In response, learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 4 tendered an unconditional apology on behalf of respondent no. 4 and submitted that the recording/shared content was deleted immediately upon coming to the knowledge of respondent no. 4 that such recording and circulation of Court proceedings was impermissible and contrary to law. 8. Taking note of the unconditional apology tendered on behalf of respondent no. 4 and the statement that the said recording was promptly removed, this Court refrains from taking any further action in the matter at this stage. However, it is observed that recording, reproduction or circulation of Court proceedings without authorization is a serious matter and all concerned are expected to strictly adhere to the applicable Rules and legal provisions governing live- streaming and dissemination of judicial proceedings. Any such violation in future shall be viewed seriously and dealt with in accordance with law. (Alok Mahra, J.) 12.06.2026 Arpan
