Supreme Court to begin Hybrid physical hearing after a gap of nearly 1 year


Come March 15, the Supreme Court will begin hybrid physical hearing after a gap of nearly one year, when it switched to hearing matter through video conferencing to contain the spread of COVID-19. According to a circular issued on March 5, the top court will on an experimental basis begin final hearing or regular matters listed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays through the hybrid mode. The circular said the direction for hybrid hearing has been issued by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde after examining the requests from the Bar associations and the recommendations of the top court judges' committee. "On an experimental basis, and as a pilot scheme, the final hearing/regular matters listed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays may be heard in the hybrid mode, as may be decided by the Hon'ble Bench, considering the number of parties in a matter as well as the limited capacity of the court rooms; all other matters, including those listed on Mondays and Fridays, shall continue to be heard through the video/tele-conferencing mode," read the circular.
