ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) today (Monday) announced that it will only hold important hearings until May 16 amid the third wave of coronavirus.
According to a notification issued by the IHC registrar, on the instructions of IHC Chief Justic Athar Minallah, the court will hear bail pleas, stay orders and urgent cases only. “A date for the important cases will be determined by the IHC CJ,” it added.
Last week, the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) said it was extending coronavirus restrictions announced earlier till April 13. The forum said an important meeting will be held on April 12 (today) to review how the coronavirus SOPs and restrictions during the month of Ramadan will be implemented.
The NCOC had announced various restrictions across the country a few days earlier, as the third wave of the coronavirus intensified across the country with over 5,000 testing positive for the virus in a single day, multiple times in the past few weeks or so.
