It will save paper and storage space and is environment friendly, says PIL
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday approved the use of A4 size papers printed on both sides for filing of pleas in all courts to save paper and storage space in courts. A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni was hearing a public interest litigation filed by advocate Sujay Joshi in Pune through advocate Ajinkya Udane. It urged the court to take judicial notice of the fact that the court faces an infrastructural issue and crunch to store the documents, records and files. The PIL argued that using A4 size paper would be environment friendly, relying upon Article 48 (A) (protection and improvement of environment and safeguarding of forests and wild life) and Article 51 (A) (g) (it shall be the duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve the natural environment).
