BCD to hold meeting on reverting to physical mode of court hearings

NEW DELHI: The Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) on Sunday decided to hold a meeting of the presidents of all bar associations in the national capital to work out a course of action for completely reverting to the physical mode of hearing by courts. BCD chairman Ramesh Gupta said the meeting on February 6 was being held as the Delhi HC has not acceded to its categorical request to open all courts and tribunals completely in the physical mode by the first week of February. Gupta claimed that it has not been done due to the "pressure of some affluent advocates who have consolidated their work while sitting abroad or in their farmhouses and are against the physical working" of courts.
