Orissa High Court stops use of Zoom app for hearing

CUTTACK: After the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) raised alarm bells over use of Zoom app, the Orissa High Court on Friday decided that the application shall not be used by the Court for the purpose of hearing cases through video conferencing. The facility was allowed under the Orissa High Court e-filing and Video Conferencing Scheme, 2020 introduced on April 9 in view of exigency caused by Covid-19.
The decision was taken in the wake of issuance of relevant Government advisories regarding usage of Zoom video conferencing software.
