The Bench of four Judges of Bombay High Court was constituted on 26-03 -2020 emergent situation considering the outbreak of COVID-19
and consequential lockdown. Honourable Court held that , as the lock down is now declared till 14.04.2020,normal working of this court at least till then is not possible. As the staff is not available, files cannot be made over to court. As local transport is shut down, lawyers and litigants
are finding it difficult to approach the court. In this situation, we find it appropriate to continue all interim orders which are operating till today and are not already continued by some other courts / authority
including this court and the same shall remain in force till
30.04.2020, subject to liberty to parties to move for
vacation of interim orders only in extreme urgent cases.
Thus, all interim orders passed by this High Court at
Mumbai, Aurangabad, Nagpur and Panaji as also all courts/
Tribunal and authorities subordinate over which it has
power of superintendence expiring before 30.04.2020, shall
continue to operate till then. It is clarified that such interim
orders which are not granted for limited duration and
therefore, are to operate till further orders, shall remain
unaffected by this order. (WP No 20 of 2020 dt 26-03 -2020)
