Leh: Yesterday, on Monday, Justice Tashi Rabstan, Chief Justice of the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, virtually inaugurated a new, state-of-the-art High Court Guest House at Melongthang, Leh. The guest house, which has been constructed at a cost of Rs 12.42 crore, is designed to provide lodging and boarding facilities for visiting judges from the Supreme Court, various High Courts, and the High Court of J&K and Ladakh.
It will also accommodate judicial officers from different states visiting the Union Territory of Ladakh.
In his address, Chief Justice Rabstan expressed his gratitude to the Lieutenant Governor and the officers of the UT Administration for their “unwavering cooperation and support” in the development of judicial infrastructure in both Leh and Kargil districts. He emphasized that before the establishment of the guest house, there were no suitable accommodations for visiting judges, except for hotels, which often lacked the specific requirements for judicial officers.
