The matter was mentioned by Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra before a bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao.
Luthra cited the rise in COVID cases and sought priority hearing in the matter.
“The numbers are rising now and this plea needs to be listed. We need hybrid hearing,” Luthra said on behalf of one of the petitioners
“Hybrid means we will not have pleasure to see Mr Luthra in court. There is no urgency. All people are coming to court. If situation worsens we will see,” the bench said.
Advocate Siddharth Gupta appearing for another petitioner also made the same request.
“Please take this up milord,” Gupta said.
“There are more urgent matters like people in jail, bail cases etc. We will list in July,” the bench responded.
