The Apex Court, which is hearing cases through video-conferencing since March last year due to the Coronavirus pandemic, will commence hybrid physical hearings from March 15.
The Supreme Court has issued the standard operating procedure for the hearings. Several bar bodies and lawyers have been demanding that physical hearings should resume immediately.
The SOP said that “On an experimental basis, the final hearings/regular matters listed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays may be heard in the hybrid mode, as may be decided by the bench, considering the number of parties in a matter as well as the limited capacity of the courtrooms; all other matters shall continue to be heard through video/tele-conferencing mode".
“In any such matter as may be listed for hybrid hearing, all the counsels appearing for one party can appear either through physical presence or through video/tele-conferencing,” it said.
