Today it was informed that they had an online discussion via video conferencing. ICAI told the court that they can't have separate isolation rooms for covid infected candidates as it will pose risk to others.
After hearing the arguments today the court directed the ICAI to release a press note and notify in their websites about the steps that they have or will be taking for the CA exams so that concerns of the candidates are addressed regarding coronavirus.
