Gujarat HC Judges Assess Land for New Surat District Court
Judges from the Gujarat High Court are visiting Surat to look at land for a new courthouse.

The lawyers prefer the poultry farm site near the city.
The judges will also meet with lawyers to hear their concerns.
The goal is to find a location for a new court that works well for everyone.
Gujarat HC judges visited Surat to assess land for a new district court building.
