Plea on smooth functioning of HC disposed of

The Madras High Court has disposed of a plea moved by Awake for Transparency, a non-profit private entity, seeking for better, smooth functioning of the registry of the High Court after observing that the main issue regarding the listing has already been resolved with the cause list being uploaded in the early evening hours each day, which is available online to all the lawyers.

The first bench comprising Chief Justice AP Sahi and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy while closing the plea also held: “The question of streamlining of the procedure with regard to the handling of case papers has to be done as per the High Court Rules existing and, therefore, the Registry shall take care to ascertain the requirements accordingly.”

“As and when any such difficulty is pointed out, after the normal situation arises and the COVID situation is over, any such suggestions on behalf of the lawyers can be considered more appropriately. The contents of the representation filed by the petitioner and addressed to the Registrar General shall be kept for reference whenever such measures are undertaken,” the bench added.

The plea had sought for audio and video recording of the court proceedings; prompt uploading of daily orders and judgments on the court website and provision of Wi-Fi facilities in all court halls besides encouraging the use of monitors, laptops and tablets by judges as well as lawyers.
