Re: arguement recording

I must bring to your attention that any recording made of the Courtroom proceeding without the consent of the Presiding Officer is an act of Contempt of the Court where the recording was made. If caught, it could lead to jail and also action for contempt of Court.

However there is no bar to shorthand recording as long as permission is taken. No electronic media for recording is permitted.

Re: arguement recording

No offence, if recorded with permission of court.

Otherwise also, no offence appears to be committed.
