The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday extended the operation of interim orders passed it or by the Courts/ Tribunals subordinate to it till December 1, 2020.
The order has been passed by a Division Bench comprising of Justices Munishwar Nath Bhandari and Piyush Agrawal as the position on account of COVID-19 Pandemic has "not improved entirely" in the State.
Previously, the High Court had extended all interim orders till October 31. It had also directed that the period of 90 days during which the caveats filed under Section 148-A CPC remain in force shall exclude the lockdown period and the period in which the working of courts and tribunals have remained suspended or disturbed.
This order has now been extended till December 1, 2020.
The Bench said,
"The position on account of COVID-19 Pandemic has not improved entirely, therefore, this Court is of the opinion that the direction given by this Court on 19.08.2020 to extend the effect of the earlier order till 31.10.2020 needs to be extended and, accordingly, the order quoted above in reference to the extension of the interim order and even for the limitation, as given therein, is made operational and effective till 01.12.2020."
