As part of enhancing security measures, the Bombay High Courtwill soon instal a bio-access system for all advocates and staffers, an official said here Friday.<\/p>\n
Initially, all lawyers with minimum five years practice will be allowed to apply for a bio-access card, others would be given the card in stages.<\/p>\n
This would obviate the need for physical frisking by security personnel at the entrance of the high court building near Churchgate in South Mumbai.<\/p>\n
The new system has been introduced on directions from Chief Justice Mohit Shah.<\/p>\n
Bombay High Court Registrar General S.B. Shukre had earlier this month issued a circular inviting all lawyers who have completed five years practice to supply the required information.<\/p>\n
Around 2,500 lawyers practice daily in the Bombay High Court. Thousands of litigants throng the court premises daily, posing a security challenge.<\/p>\n
All litigants and visitors will continue to go through the existing manual system of security checks and frisking.<\/p>\n
The Bombay High Court has benches in Aurangabad, Nagpur and Panaji under its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
