thebalanced.newsGauhati High Court Implements Fuel-Saving SOP with Virtual Hearings and Work-from-Home Measures
The Gauhati High Court has implemented a month-long SOP from May 25 to June 26 to conserve fuel and enhance administrative efficiency. It mandates virtual hearings on Mondays and Fridays with video conferencing links provided, encourages judges to car-pool, and restricts official vehicle use. Up to 50% of administrative and judicial staff will work on alternate days, with essential sections exempted. Remote staff must remain accessible via mobile and e-Office, which is mandatory for file movement and communication. Similar measures have been adopted by the Punjab and Haryana High Court amid the global oil crisis.
