The Maharashtra government informed today (24th Oct) the Supreme Court that it plans to transfer the next portion of land for a new Bombay High Court building in Bandra by December. The special bench noted that the state has not yet taken possession of the Air India building for the mediation center’s relocation.
On September 23, Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud began construction on a new Bombay High Court complex, while the Supreme Court directed Maharashtra’s chief secretary to arrange a meeting about redeveloping an annexe building. Urgent repairs are needed, and plans for temporary relocation of court facilities are in motion, reflecting the court’s historical importance.
The Supreme Court ordered the Maharashtra Government today (17th May) to release the initial land parcel for the new Bombay High Court building without delay. Concerned about the slow progress, the Court also discussed temporary alternative sites and the selection of architects. Further proceedings are scheduled for July 15 to review the progress.
