The working hours of the Judiciary has been revised to one less hour of work, and has been determined to a period of six hours.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Department of Judicial Administration (DJA) stated that the Supreme Court has amended the official working hours of the judiciary from 8 am to 2 pm starting Wednesday.
With this amendment, the working hours of employees of the judiciary will be equivalent to the working hours of civil servants. The previous timings were from 8 am to 3 pm.
Additionally DJA stated that with this change, every worker is designated a 30-minute break between 12 pm to 1 pm, along with other breaks under a schedule that does not interrupt the working hours of the courts and its administrative departments.
