Plea says district courts not adhering to it despite directions
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday said the courts in the Capital are bound to follow the directions passed by it when it permitted trial courts to hold hybrid or videoconferencing hearings at the request of parties.
A Bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Jasmeet Singh asked the Delhi Government and the High Court to respond to a plea claiming that the district courts are not permitting hybrid hearings despite its directions.
“The High Court has already issued directions. They are bound to comply with it,” the Bench said.

Bangladesh is witnessing renewed political tension after the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi, a young leader who emerged during the July–August 2024 uprising that led to the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
