Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the state government has approved Rs.1,700 crore for the construction of integrated court complexes in seven districts.
Uttar Pradesh: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that Rs. 1700 crore has been approved for the development of integrated court complexes in seven districts of the state. He made the announcement during the inauguration of the new advocate chamber and parking building at the Allahabad High Court on Saturday.
While speaking at the event, CM Yogi said the government is committed to improving court infrastructure across the state. He recalled how some districts did not even have court buildings when the BJP government came to power.
He said:
“When we (BJP) came to power, 10 districts didn’t have their courts… We wanted the parking facilities and lawyers’ chambers to be included in an integrated court complex in the court infrastructure. We have already received approval and allocated Rs 1700 crore for 7 districts…”
The Chief Minister highlighted the vision of providing all essential facilities—such as lawyer chambers and parking areas—under one roof within integrated complexes.
Chief Justice of India BR Gavai inaugurated the new advocate chamber and parking building at the Allahabad High Court. He praised the facilities, saying they are among the best he has seen anywhere in the country and serve as a gift to the legal fraternity.
“Today, by inaugurating this building, I want to dedicate it to the citizens of the country and would like to congratulate the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court, all the Justices’ siblings, and all the Lawyers’ Association of the Allahabad High Court that you have received a grand gift.”
CJI Gavai went on to admire the sheer size and utility of the new infrastructure, stating:
“I travel a lot around the country and there is no such big building in my knowledge, which is so big for lawyers, for advocates, providing facilities, there are chambers above 2300. It has huge parking facilities for cars and two-wheelers too. And for this, I would like to congratulate you all. Especially, I would also like to express my congratulations and gratitude to the Honourable Chief Minister for providing funds for these facilities.”
Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, who was also present at the event, connected the occasion with the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar, calling her an early icon of justice and good governance.
He stated:
“Today, the whole country is celebrating the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai, whom we call the idol of justice… 250 years ago, Ahilyabai introduced the concept that good governance requires good infrastructure for the judiciary. Today, we are inaugurating a magnificent infrastructure event organised at the Allahabad High Court.”
The newly inaugurated advocate chamber complex includes over 2,300 chambers for lawyers and massive parking space for both cars and two-wheelers. This development is expected to significantly improve working conditions for legal professionals and make the court more accessible for the public.
