The observance is scheduled for April 25, 2025, at 10:30 AM across the High Court in Allahabad and its bench in Lucknow.
According to the notice signed by the Registrar General, sirens will sound from 10:29 AM to 10:30 AM to mark the commencement of the silence. During this period, judges, lawyers, court staff, and all present in the court premises are requested to stand and observe the silence. An “all clear” siren will follow from 10:32 AM to 10:33 AM, signaling the end of the tribute.
