Plea on smooth functioning of HC disposed of

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.
