Justice Shinde: We will hear for 4 hours everyday. We also have fundamental rights!

Justice Shinde added that they have been facing various issues with virtual hearings.

Shinde: From morning to evening we only hear sound. Advocates do not have proper system we cannot hear them properly. We understand there are atrocities committed everyday.
