This is a very thought provoking article and I fully agree with the views of the auther. This is a system started during British Era in India and the courts/judges are forced to go on holidays due to unebearable heat during the summer months for lack of any air-conditioningfacilities. With the invent of AIR-CONDITIONING and other bearable amenities, there is no need for judges to go on summer holidays as they can now conduct the court procedures under condusive envornment.
