    The Administrative Committee of the Madras High Court has decided to partially resume physical functioning of Court with Six Division Benches at the Principal Seat at Madras and Two Division Benches at Madurai Bench from September 7 onwards, on a trial basis.

    The Benches will take up matters both via physical hearing as well as video conferencing, in combination. That is to say, the Benches would be functioning for half a day through physical court hearing and for the next half a day through virtual court hearing.

    "The physical court hearing of Three Division Benches in Principal Seat at Madras will be in the pre-lunch session and Three Division Benches in the post-lunch session in order to avoid overcrowding in Courts. The virtual court hearings will be alternatively conducted for the rest of the day," a notification issued by the High Court states.

    The decision has been taken to facilitate the lawyers of both categories, who opt for physical court or virtual court hearings.

    The other respective Benches will continue to function through virtual court hearing as before.
