In a public statement issued on October 20, the court said that damage to its premises and infrastructure had disrupted normal judicial operations.

The court has mobilized its staff to address the situation, with priority given to identifying and assessing damaged documents and ensuring the integrity of judicial case files.
The court said that affected parties would be notified individually using their contact details, while new hearing dates would be published on its official website and through other communication channels.
