However, the virtual mode of hearing will also continue.
Advocates’ chambers will not be opened in the first phase. Although the system of physical hearing is successful on the guidelines set by the High Court, then a decision will be taken regarding opening the chamber.
As per the guidelines, only those advocates who have been vaccinated against COVID will be allowed in the premises.
They must show the vaccination certificate at the time of admission without protest, otherwise the committee may withdraw the physical hearing arrangement.
During the physical hearing, advocates will have to follow the COVID protocols like wearing face masks/covers and maintaining social distancing. Only those advocates will enter the premises whose cases are listed and for this they will have to show the case list on mobile phone or any other mode.
Not more than ten advocates will stay in a court room at a time.
During physical hearing, advocates will be allowed to opt for virtual hearing with advance information to the registry, thus, e-mode will also be operational till further orders.
