Vadodara: The Baroda Bar Association has demanded that the judges and court staff be also administered Covid-19 vaccines like the health workers so that physical hearings of cases in courts start.
The lawyers’ body stated that the high court chief justice’s position is equal to that of the governor of a state, so he should ask the government that all judges in the state and the entire staff be vaccinated.
“When places like schools, colleges and cinema halls where footfalls are high can be opened, the high court should order opening of district courts,” a release by the association stated. Office-bearers of BBA started a symbolic fast on Wednesday demanding physical hearings of cases.
