In all, there would be 21 vacation Benches, and two to five Benches will sit during each of the “partial court working days” as against the earlier practice of having only two vacation Benches, not manned by senior judges.
The Registry will remain open from 10 am to 5 pm on Monday-Friday for all officers and staff. It will remain closed on all Saturdays (other than July 12), Sundays and public holidays.
