Covid- 19 pandemic

The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the state of Madhya Pradesh to prepare and publish on its website, a report of the schools that had complied or not complied with the order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court dated November 4, 2020, whereby the schools had been directed to charge only tuition fee, given the closure of schools during the pandemic and the interests of the employees who had to be paid salaries.

High Court and Supreme court judges are literally setting new benchmarks by hearing cases late into the night. Recently, for the third time during the ongoing summer vacations, benches held virtual hearings simultaneously till 10:10 pm and 9:40 pm, respectively. Is this a sign of things to come?
