Tech evolution for ensuring hybrid mode of hearing is work in progress: SC

Technological advancement to ensure hybrid mode of hearing in all high courts is a work in progress, the Supreme Court said on Friday.

The top court rejected the submission that access to virtual hearings be declared a fundamental right saying this will not serve the cause.

“Only declaring it a fundamental right will not help. We have to ensure that facilities has to be there and we have to ensure that adequate facilities are there in the hilly regions also like say Meghalaya…,” it said.
