As the third leg of the national lockdown ends, it has been notified that district courts in nine districts of Tamil Nadu commence physical hearings on a trial basis.
Whereas Judges in all courts, including the High Court Benches, have been allowed to enter court premises, the hearings will largely continue through video conferencing.
Lawyers' entry into court premises remains barred, save for the few courts where physical hearings are being gradually re-introduced. Two notifications to this effect have been issued.
