When the Acting CJ heard a matter on Friday, a few advocates expressed their inconvenience in attending the virtual court and requested him to resume the hybrid mode of hearings that includes the physical and online hearings.
Responding to them, the ACJ said COIVD cases are coming down and even schools are to be reopened on Monday. “Therefore, we would consider resuming hybrid hearings in the upcoming days,” the Acting CJ noted.
