A Delhi High Court judge on Friday said lawyers "need to be a bit more conservative" while filing applications in the prevailing situation where several judges and staff of the high court are down with Covid-19.
Justice Prathiba M Singh said filing of applications for urgent hearing when there was no urgency in a matter was not fair to the judges or the registry staff.
"Please be a bit more considerate towards the judges and the staff of the high court which is facing a trying time with so many people being down with Covid," the judge said.
The judge's remarks came while hearing a matter in which an application was filed for urgent hearing though there was no urgency in it.
