The council also stated that the introduction of beds only for the Judicial Officers, Advocates, staff, and their relatives inside the court campus would be a high profit to them, and special care will be given to them to shield their lives. Further a similar will also assist the Government to tackle the inaccessibility of beds and their burden will be reduced. The Bar/Advocates Association will also join with them for the welfare of the Advocates and Staffs.

Further, the Council has mentioned that essential directions might be given to the Government to take prompt ways to establish Covid-19 Helpline or the Judicial Officers, Advocates, and Staff.
