Noting that this continued state of lockdown should also not impede the functioning of the courts beyond a limit, it was suggested that in order to ensure physical distancing norms, threats of spread of the endemic by physical contact and to avoid any complications arising from it, the system of hearing of matters through remote video conferencing be continued. In the case of the Madurai bench, the full court resolved that with the court being at a considerable distance from the town and with all 15 judges, including the Administrative Judge, living within the campus of the High Court, they can function from their residences or their chambers through video- conferencing only.
