    \n
  1. With a view to gradually facilitate resumption of physical hearing, the final hearing\/regular matters listed on non-miscellaneous days may be heard in the physical mode (with hybrid option), as may be decided by the Hon\u2019ble Bench, considering the number of parties in a matter as well as the limited capacity of the Court rooms; further, any other matter may be heard in physical mode on such days, if Hon\u2019ble Bench directs likewise. All other matters, including those listed on miscellaneous days shall continue to be heard through video\/tele- conferencing mode;<\/li>\n
  2. At the discretion of the Hon\u2019ble Bench, there may be break(s) during the hearings in Courtroom in physical mode, for a period of about 15 minutes, so that Courtroom may be sanitized, during which it is necessary that the entire Courtroom be vacated;<\/li>\n
