Projects include an ADR building and auditorium, an IT building, an administrative building, a multi-level car parking, a hospital, a residential block for ministerial staffers, and an annexe building of the office of advocate general.
CJI emphasized the need for modern infrastructure to support judicial authority and meet the demands of a growing population and increasing litigation.
IT building aims to transition from paper-heavy to digitally enabled courts, while the ADR building and auditorium will serve as a place of learning and exchange.
