The High Court was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) petition filed by a think tank, the Centre for Accountability and Systemic Change.

The Court was also told that even the Supreme Court has resolved to use double-side printed papers and therefore, it is time that the similar practise is adopted in all courts.
“The Government should issue a circular to all High Courts four use of A4 size sheet of adequate quality and for printing of paper on both sides in view to save environment and space,” the counsel argued.
