NEW DELHI:  The Delhi High Court and district courts will start physical hearings in a restricted manner from September 6 and August 31, respectively. The high court, through two separate office orders, announced that resumption of physical hearing is subject to the scale and magnitude of the ovid-19 pandemic remaining under control.

It added that the number of benches that would hold the court physically shall be constituted as per the directions of the CJ and the remaining benches shall continue to take up the matters through video-conferencing.
