While stating that he was not in favour of completely doing away with physical court hearings during the COVID-19 pandemic, Senior Advocate and Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that "physical and digital hearings have to go together".
"It is essential to understand that digital and physical have to go together. Digital must supplement the physical and physical must compliment the digital. Yes, there are issues of security and privacy of data. We will take care of that...We will come with a robust data privacy law."
