In a letter addressed to Rajya Sabha MP, P Wilson, the Minister of State for Law and Justice added that he broadly agrees with Wilson's views on the need to adopt virtual hearings (alongside physical hearings) in courts.
Judicial member Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma and technical member Jatindranath Swain have been assigned matters pending before the Chennai Bench of the NCLAT.
The High Court on Tuesday suspended the virtual proceedings and issued a statement saying that the same will be restored after new safeguards are put in place.
