The High Court of Allahabad has decided to adopt the CISCO WebEx Events platform for video conferencing at Lucknow.
The notification issued by the High Court has notified that “In the first phase of the rollout and changeover to the new video conferencing platform, all matters before Court Nos. 1 & 2 shall be heard on the WebEx Events platform w.e.f. Tuesday, i.e. 11.01.2022. In all the remaining Courts, the link for the virtual hearing of cases shall be sent through SMS on the mobile number of the Ld. Advocate which is mentioned in their Advocate on Roll record.”
The remaining Courts at Lucknow shall switch over to the new platform in batches notice/s in respect of which shall be published separately.
The new platform simplifies the procedure for participating in virtual court proceedings by doing away with the system of lawyers depending on receiving individual SMS invitations daily to join court proceedings. Additionally it enables lawyers, litigants in person to witness virtual court proceedings in real time while waiting in the Attendee Gallery/Waiting Room for their matter to be called.
