Dear Arun,
Kindly go through the following site, which I find a good Article with regard and in reply to your query, by Topic:

"This is not virtual reality, it is actual reality. Video conferencing is an advancement of science and technology which permits one to see, hear and talk with someone far away with the same facility as if he is present before you, that is, in your presence," the apex court said.
"Recording of evidence by video conferencing also satisfies the object of providing, in Section 273, that evidence be recorded in the presence of the accused," it said.
