Hearing Of Cases From March 15: Delhi HC Issues Directions, Hybrid Hearings To Be Exception, Close Watch To Be Kept On COVID-19 Situation

Live Law  

Reiterating that the hybrid hearing mode will only be an exception and not the norm, the Delhi High Court on Friday issued some crucial direction in view of the fact that Delhi Courts are set to resume physical functioning in full swing from March 15. While some of them contended that even if the Courts are going to reopen physically with effect from March 15, the hybrid form of hearing should be undertaken in appropriate cases, however, counsels appearing for Delhi High Court Bar Association, Bar Council of Delhi, and the Coordination Committee of All-District Bar Association supported the full-fledged resumption of physical hearing from March 15 and Court's observations Noting that many sectors have opened up, the Delhi High Court opined that it is high time that the Courts should also resume physical hearing, the Court said, "A beginning has to be made and the fear that has gripped the people – including the Advocates, has to be shaken off." However, taking into account the possibility of a spike in the number of Covid-19 positive cases, the Court directed the administration to keep a close watch on the situation and take appropriate steps when physical hearing is resumed in the High Court and the Courts subordinate to it, with effect from March 15 onwards. However, in the case of High Court, the Court directed that adequate infrastructure for hybrid hearings be installed in all the 25 courtrooms from where the physical hearing will be resumed from March 15 onwards.
