The Allahabad High Court has extended the life of interim orders passed by the Court and other subordinate courts and tribunals till December 1 this year because of high spike in the cases of Coronavirus in State.
A division bench of Justice MN Bhandari and Justice Piyush Agrawal has extended the interim orders expiring during this period till December 1 of all the Courts, tribunals including the High Court due to non-regularization of the court work in the COVID-19 transition.
“The position on account of COVID-19 Pandemic has not improved entirely, therefore, this Court is of the opinion that the direction given by this Court on 19.08.2020 to extend the effect of the earlier order till 31.10.2020 needs to be extended and, accordingly, the order quoted above in reference to the extension of the interim order and even for the limitation, as given therein, is made operational and effective till 01.12.2020” said the Court.
