We humbly submit that due to the increase of Covid-19 pandemic, several Advocates lost their lives and several Advocates are taking treatment at various places all over Tamilnadu and Puducherry. Recent times, there is no immediate facility to provide treatment to the Covid-19 patients and even several persons are dying in the ambulance itself. The Judiciary is also coming under the essential service and the Advocates and Staffs are part of it.
Therefore, in this situation, it is essential to provide emergent treatment to the Judicial Officers, Advocates, staffsand their family members, who are all suffering during this pandemic period. It is our humble request that if Covid centres consisting of enormous beds and quarantine beds supported with oxygen are established within the court campuses throughout the state of Tamilnaduand Puducherry and it will be a timely help and support for those affected by the virus. The establishment of beds exclusively for the Judicial Officers, Advocates,staffsand their family membersinside

the court campus will be highly benefitted to them and also special care will be provided for them to safeguard their lives. Further, the same will also help the Government to tackle the unavailability of beds and their burden will be reduced.The Bar/Advocates Association will also join with them for the welfare of the Advocates and Staffs.
