All functions of lower courts and tribunals will run with half of their officials and staff from Monday till February 6 following the health safety rules in order to contain the Covid-19 infection.
The other half of the officials and staff cannot leave their respective work areas as they will have to work by rotation, said Supreme Court's Spokesperson Saifur Rahman.
A notification was issued in this regard by the Supreme Court administration on Monday.
After discussing with senior SC judges, Chief Justice Hasan Foez Siddique took the decision in line with the government circular issued on January 23.
In the circular, the Cabinet Division said all government, semi-government, autonomous and private offices will operate with half of the employees working in person following health guidelines from Monday till February 6.
