SC to start ‘hybrid’ hearings

In news

In a first step towards resuming physical hearings, the Supreme Court has decided to start hearing cases in “hybrid mode” from March 15

Details
  • The bench will decide if a case will be listed for hybrid hearing, depending on the number of parties involved in a matter and the capacity of the courtroom.
  • Unless otherwise directed by a bench, final hearings or regular matters where the number of lawyers for the parties is higher than the average working capacity of the courtrooms as per COVID-19 norms (20 per courtroom), shall be listed for hearing through the video or tele-conferencing.
  • If the bench lists a matter for hybrid hearing, the appearance of the parties (physical or via video/tele-conferencing) will be facilitated as per the directions of the bench.
  • If the number of parties is higher than the specified number, then one advocate-on-record (AOR) and one arguing counsel per party would be allowed entry.
  • Only one registered clerk per party, as may be chosen by the AOR, shall be allowed entry to carry paper-books or journals of lawyers up to the courtrooms.
  • All counsels appearing for one party can appear either through physical presence or through video/tele-conferencing.
