Passes will be issued to the parties to the case and their learned counsels appearing before the court on top priority.
The entry of the journalists who regularly cover Supreme Court proceedings will also be made through passes. As regards others, due to paucity of seating, only few senior lawyers and members of the general public may be issued passes as per seating capacity on "first-come-first-serve-basis."
The passes will be issued by the office of Additional Registrar, Supreme Court. Entry into Court building will be allowed after checking/frisking and searching of bags/purses etc. No Cell phone would be allowed inside the courtroom.
