Supreme Court tightens night entry rules

The Supreme Court administration has tightened entry rules at night, requiring everyone entering the court premises between 11PM and 6AM to carry valid identification for security reasons.

The administration issued a notice on Tuesday (October 6), saying the measure was taken to prevent unauthorised people from entering the Supreme Court premises at night and ensure the security of judges, lawyers and the important judicial complex.

The notice said the Supreme Court is the country’s highest judicial institution and a key installation where the Chief Justice and judges of both divisions conduct judicial proceedings.

It said unauthorised people have recently been entering the Supreme Court premises at night, creating security concerns.
