Madras High Court Seeks Bar Associations' Opinion On Doing Away With Vacations, Keeping Courts Open Throughout The Year

Live Law  

The Madras High Court has sought the opinion of all bar associations with respect to changing the working structure of the courts and doing away with the court vacations. The circular issued by M Jothiraman, Registrar General of Madras High Court says that the Committee to monitor the implementation of the Resolutions adopted in the Chief Justices' Conference has decided to hear the bar associations to get their opinions on the recommendations made by the Parliamentary Standing Committee On Personnel, Public Grievance, Law and Justice regarding functioning of courts all year round. The Parliamentary Committee had suggested that instead of keeping the courts shut completely and all judges going on vacations at the same time, judges could take leave at different times allowing courts to be kept open always. Thus, the committee had taken suggestions of former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha, as per whom instead of all judges being on vacation, the judges would take vacations at different times which would allow the courts to be kept open constantly thus having benches at all times to hear the litigants.
