Mumbai, Jul 6 The Bombay High Court on Monday assured that no adverse orders would be passed in matters if lawyers are unable to reach courts amid heavy rains battering the city and neighbouring districts.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday issued a 'red' alert for Mumbai, Thane and Raigad districts, forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds and appealed to people to avoid unnecessary travel.
The IMD warned that intense rainfall could inundate low-lying and urban areas and trigger flash floods.
Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge assured lawyers' associations that no adverse or dismissal orders would be passed on account of their absence on Monday due to the rains.
All other HC benches in Mumbai would also follow this assurance, the court said.
