At the initial stage, it has been provided that the physical hearing should commence only in 3 Courtrooms and the same may be increased or decreased, according to the situation that would be in effect at that time.

According to SOP, only a limited number of Advocates/ parties in person had been allowed to enter the Courtroom at any given time and in cases where the number of parties is more, at such a situation one AOR and one Arguing Counsel per party will be allowed entry.

According to the guidelines provided by SOP, The entry of counsels/parties or such other stakeholders to appear for such limited physical hearing will be through daily "Special hearing passes" which will be issued by the Registry, on the basis of authorization by the concerned Advocate on Record.

Proximity cards/long term passes had been suspended for entry towards the High-Security Zone and only Advocates/Parties-in-Person/Clerks or other stakeholders, who have been issued Special Hearing Passes shall enter the High-Security Zone through the designated Gate, after the process of thermal scanning.
