In light of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, the Delhi High Court has mandated the use of face masks for lawyers, litigants, and staff members while on court premises.
The court has also advised against large gatherings in common and waiting areas to prevent further spread of the virus.
A circular issued by the high court’s administrative side has instructed all concerned parties, including staff, members of the bar, and litigants, to strictly adhere to COVID-19 protocols and use face masks at all times while in the court’s premises.
The Registrar General, Ravinder Dudeja, has urged all high court officials to ensure that measures to contain the virus are strictly followed.
