Chennai: Former Attorney General of India Mukul Rohatgi today welcomed the temporary shift to virtual hearings by courts and added that it should be integrated with physical functioning of courts once they re-open,
Delivering a keynote speech during a session on “Justice Delivery in Covid-19 Days”’in a webinar organised by Bennett University, he said, “this system must remain even if we bring the physical system back.”
He added: “My advice to the powers that be is – integrate both systems. Maybe reserve one day for only hearings conducted through video conferencing, so that people who want to stay and argue from home or office, can do so”.
