Advocate writes to Acting Chief Justice of Bombay HC - SV Gangapurwala - seeking permanent adoption of hybrid mode for hearings to encourage "better access to justice"

#BombayHighCourt #Online Image
"Vulnerable populace remains alienated from courts due to various reasons that includes but is not limited to the distance of the High Court and its Benches"

#BombayHighCourt #hybrid
"It is pertinent to note that even when the litigant appears before the Court physically, often the matter is not heard as it does not reach the Board."

#BombayHighCourt #hybrid
"Thus, the travel, time and expenditure of the litigant go to waste. To the best of my knowledge, the hybrid mode of hearing will make access much better and stronger for vulnerable litigants that include people from weaker section of the society."

Supreme Court will hear plea moved by owners of Ansal Theatres seeking the custody of the theatre and its premises in connection with the Uphaar fire tragedy that happened in 1997.

#SupremeCourtofIndia Image
CBI counsel: Let me clear the confusion. I was not briefed yesterday. Nobody informed the CBI from the Court.

May I take 2 mins to give a background? This is the Uphaar Fire Tragedy. They were 59 deaths on the balcony. There were 3 exits
Counsel: Because of the change in the seating plan, the right hand exit .....

Bench: Is there a map?

Counsel shows a site plan: Nobody in the main hall died. People (on the balcony) didn't die because of the fire but because of asphyxia - carbon monoxide poisoning.
