AILU expresses concern over rapid spread of COVID-19
The State branch of the All India Lawyers’ Union (AILU) has requested Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court Justice Arup Kumar Goswami to disallow the physical appearance of advocates and parties at the trial court level keeping in view the rapid spread of COVID-19 and to declare vacation from May 1 to June 1.
In a letter to the Chief Justice on Wednesday, AILU State president S. Rajendra Prasad and general secretary N. Srinivasa Rao said that though the filing of cases was being done in the High Court both physically and online, they were being heard only online. “Whereas, the functioning at the trial court level is by way of physical appearance of the advocates and parties,” they said.
