Plea says district courts not adhering to it despite directions
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday said the courts in the Capital are bound to follow the directions passed by it when it permitted trial courts to hold hybrid or videoconferencing hearings at the request of parties.
A Bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Jasmeet Singh asked the Delhi Government and the High Court to respond to a plea claiming that the district courts are not permitting hybrid hearings despite its directions.
“The High Court has already issued directions. They are bound to comply with it,” the Bench said.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
