It asked the two senior advocates on Monday to file a report on the feasibility of installing CCTV cameras for recording court proceedings.

It asked the Gurgaon district judge to help the two lawyers make an on-the-spot study . The move is path-breaking, as the apex court had till now refused proposals for installation of cameras inside court rooms to record judicial proceedings in the three-tier justice dispensation system.
