Kurnool High Court Bench Delay Raises Concerns, Questions Judiciary
Advocate Jayaraju is asking why a new court in Kurnool is taking so long to be approved.
The state government already agreed to it and sent it to the Chief Justice, who needs to give the final okay.
The central government is ready to set it up as soon as the Chief Justice says yes.
Everyone is waiting for the Chief Justice to make a decision because people in the area need a court, and this delay is seen as unfair.
Senior Advocate Y. Jayaraju questions the delay in establishing a permanent High Court bench in Kurnool.
A state resolution to establish the bench was passed over eight months ago.
The resolution was submitted to the Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
The Union Law Minister stated the Centre is ready to notify the bench upon the Chief Justice's approval.
Legal and civil society leaders argue the delay undermines justice and regional development.
