On Saturday, the Supreme Court administration announced that following applications received from bar associations, the full court has decided to remove the glass panels located in courtrooms one through five.
In a statement, the Supreme Court administration indicated that the full court considered memorandums from the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) regarding the removal of the glass panels.
The statement noted, "After careful consideration of various concerns related to the original grandeur, visibility, aesthetics, and access to the courtroom, the full court has opted to remove the glass panels."
Last December, the SCBA had requested the then Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna to eliminate the glass panels installed for air conditioning and restore the original structure of the Supreme Court corridors to preserve its historical significance.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Justice, the SCBA expressed that the glass panels for air conditioning had significantly reduced space in the corridors, causing difficulties for bar members, registered clerks, trainees, and litigants, especially during busy times.
The letter stated, "We request the removal of the glass panels to preserve the historical significance of the Supreme Court and restore the corridors to their original form."
