This Review Petition has been filed by the Petitioner on the ground that there is no video conferencing facility at Gautambudh Nagar, District Courts. Another ground in the Review Petition is that video conferencing is not permissible in matrimonial matters in accordance with the judgment of this Court date 09.10.2017 in a case titled “Santhini vs. Vijaya Venketesh”.

 

3. Notice was issued in the Review Petition on 20.03.2018.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, physical functioning of the

Courts has been stopped since March, 2020. Proceedings in all

Courts are being conducted only through video conferencing.

In the normal course we would not have directed video

conferencing in respect of matrimonial matters as per the

judgment of this Court mentioned above. However, in the

present situation where all proceedings are conducted through

video conferencing, we direct the Family Court, District

Gautambudh Nagar, U.P. to conduct the trial through video

conferencing.
