Bombay High Court Demands Maharashtra Government Improve Video Conferencing in Jails

The Bombay High Court, led by Justice Bharati Dangre, has requested the Maharashtra government to provide detailed statistics on the usage of e-Mulakat and video conferencing in jails. The court seeks information on the number of accused produced in court remotely and physically over the past six months.

The Bombay High Court has requested comprehensive details from the Maharashtra government regarding the implementation of e-Mulakat and video conferencing facilities in jails throughout the state.

Justice Bharati Dangre has directed the state to provide data showing how many accused have used video conferencing to appear in court and how many have been physically produced over the last six months.

The court emphasized the importance of these virtual facilities, following concerns raised by Tribhuvansing Yadav, whose bail application faced multiple adjournments due to the lack of video conference availability.
