										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, Chief Justice of India NV Ramana harshly criticized the functioning of parliament, focusing on the lack of debates on laws. He compared it to former periods when both houses of parliament were packed with lawyers, and he urged the legal community to give their time to public service as well.</p>
<p>He described the current scenario as a sorry state of affairs, saying that there is no real debate in the chamber.</p>
<p>There is a lack of clarity in the laws. We have no idea what the law&#8217;s objective is. It is a public embarrassment. He remarked that this is when attorneys and intellectuals are not present in the Houses.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has asked Chief Justice of India N V Ramana to restart physical hearings in the Supreme Court, claiming that the COVID-19 condition in the capital city has become &#8220;nearly normal.&#8221; As a precaution, the SCBA proposed that only attorneys be permitted to visit courtrooms, while litigants and media representatives may view the proceedings through online mode.</p>
<p>The association suggested the following procedures for restarting physical hearings: &#8220;all courts must sit at 10:30 a.m., as has been the norm of this court. On Miscellaneous days, i.e., Monday and Friday, there should be six 45-minute sessions, with 10 cases assigned to each slot, so that about 60 cases may be heard.&#8221;</p>
