Madras HC Judge SM Subramaniam Directs Installation Of CCTV Cameras In His Chambers: Read On To Find Out Why

Justice SM Subramaniam on Thursday directed the Registrar, High Court of Madras to install CCTV cameras in his chambers. The direction was issued in a bid to follow his own advice to the Chief Secretary to the State government to install CCTV cameras inside official chambers and office rooms of all higher officials, "in order to avoid all such allegations/complaints against the higher officials and to safeguard the interest of women officers and women employees from the offences of sexual harassment". It then observed, "This being the preachings of the Police Department to the citizen at large of this Great Nation, what about the offenders and Black Sheep in the Police Offices, Chambers and Office Rooms of the higher officials and what measures are taken to nab the offenders and Black Sheep inside the Police Department and other public offices and institutions etc." In an attempt to follow his words, Justice Subramaniam then ordered, "…this Court is inclined to direct the Registrar, High Court of Madras to install Closed Circuit CCTV Camera in the Chambers of Hon'ble Justice S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order."
