New Delhi, Apr 25 (UNI) The Supreme Court Bar Association has written to Chief Justice N V Ramana to advance the summer vacations amid rising cases of coronavirus pandemic.
In a letter to the newly appointed CJI, the SCBA President Vikas Singh requested that the summer break could begin on April 26 and end by June 6 with regular courts commencing from June 7 citing the second wave of the pandemic and the Delhi government's lockdown till May 1.
The summer vacation should be curtailed by a week from seven weeks to six weeks, the bar body proposed.
He also pointed out the lack of medical infrastructure in and around the National Capital has hampered the admission of lawyers, court staff, and their families in hospitals in this hour of need.
Mr Singh urged to convert the newly-constructed counsels' chamber building to a COVID-19 care centre for the members and the families of the legal fraternity affected by the pandemic.
