The Supreme Court introduces measures to reduce fuel use and energy consumption, including wider use of virtual hearings and a two-day work-from-home arrangement for judges. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the court asks judges and staff to avoid unnecessary travel and encourages carpooling where in-person movement is required. The steps are linked to a broader national “save fuel” appeal associated with the Prime Minister’s call to conserve fuel. Under the changes described, certain hearings are conducted virtually rather than in person, and judges carry out their duties from home for a set period. The court’s directions are presented as part of efforts to lower resource consumption while ensuring judicial work continues. While details on the scope of virtual hearings and operational procedures are not consistent across the brief summaries, both outlets agree that the Supreme Court is actively implementing virtual proceedings, temporary remote working, and travel-related conservation practices such as carpooling.
