A resolution for opening of physical Courts in the High Court as well as the subordinate Courts has been passed by the Punjab and Haryana Bar Council.
The Council has stated that the present system of virtual court is unable to serve proper justice, hence resumption of physical court at the earliest is the only solution to proper delivery of justice to the litigants.
The Council has further stated that hearing through the mode of Video Conferencing had its own limitations and cannot be equated with the physical functioning of Courts. Moreover despite best efforts the courts were not being able to list even the urgent matters.
The Council has suggested that the filing of cases should be allowed through the mode of e filing as well as physical filing. The Council further suggested that after June 8, 20 more courts should be allowed to function normally along with the virtual Courts since the summer vacation has been cancelled, hence the period can be utilized to hear the pending cases.
