SC cases restricted to urgent matters due to the prevailing situation in the country

The Supreme Court today announced that only, ‘urgent’ matters will be taken up in open court for hearing from 28th June to July 1st 2022, taking into account the prevailing situation due to the shortage of fuel and the limited availability of public transport. If there are any urgent matters among already scheduled applications/appeals which should be taken up in open court, a Motion containing an application to such effect should be filed before the scheduled date, having given notice of such Motion to the registered Attorney of the opposing party or parties, as the case may be, the Supreme Court Registrar announced. The Supreme Court registrar further announced that those who wish to file Motions of urgent matters electronically should do so by forwarding the motion via email, at least two days before the scheduled date, addressed to the Registrar of the Supreme Court.
