The Supreme Court on Friday noted that Bombay High Court has resumed normal working hours and disposed of the plea challenging a circular issued by the Bombay High Court reducing its working hours to three hours a day in view of Covid-19.

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud observed that the grievance of the petitioner has been met. The top court directed the petitioner that if he wants to bring anything to the attention, he can raise this to the Bombay High Court Registrar General. With this observation, the court disposed of the plea filed by activist Ghanshyam Upadhyay. The petitioner has stated that due to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), the principal bench of the High Court has been "functioning only for namesake" causing hardships to the litigants and advocates.
