The Chhattisgarh High Court has directed its administrative side to decide a representation seeking mandatory usage of ‘A4 size papers’ in the High Court and the subordinate Courts of the State for all purposes like preparation of applications, petitions, affidavits etc.
The Division Bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Naresh Kumar Chandravanshi was hearing two Public Interest Litigations (PILs) seeking directions from the Court to amend the High Court of Chhattisgarh Rules, 2007 so as to allow use of A4 size papers, printed on both sides, for presentation of pleadings and all other supporting documents.
It also sought a direction from the Court to issue an ‘administrative order’ to ensure the mandatory usage of A4 size papers, printed on both sides, for all the purposes of the High Court as well as all the subordinate Courts of the State.
The counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have filed a representation dated 04.03.2020 before the High Court for redressal of their grievance but the same is pending with the Court since then.
Thus, the Court disposed of the PILs directing the Registry/administrative side of the High Court to decide the representation filed by the petitioners within a period of eight weeks.
