Application under Sec 11 of Family Courts Act 1984 for video recording


01-Dec-2023 (In Family Law)

Dear Experts, I would like to give an application under Sec 11 of Family Courts Act 1984 for video recording. Actually I am the petitioner and the case already proceeding ex parte. Is there any reason also that I need to mention in this application or simple application will do.?

Sec. 11 of the Family Courts Act provides:-
"In every suit or proceedings to which this Act applies the proceedings may be held in
camera if the family court so desires and shall be so held if either party so desires."
Section 153-8 Proviso C.P.C. inserted by Amending Act No.104 of 1976 also lays
down:-
"Provided that the presiding judge may if he thinks fit, order at any stage of any
particular case, that the public generally, or any particular person, shall not have access to, or
be or remain in, the room of building used by the Court."
In Janaki Ballav v. Bennet Coleman and Co. Ltd. (AIR 1989 Orissa 225) the
importance of camera proceedings has been explained

Hello
Yes you have to mention sufficient cause in the application.
And it can be set aside under order 9 rule 13 of CPC.
You have to mention tha you have been removed to appear in court by sufficint reason.
So the court will set aside by applying some cost on it.

If the matter is proceeding, ex-parte then what is the requirement for video recording ? the court may not allow the same. however, a simple application would suffice, however, you would have to mention cogent reasons for such an application.
