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 today directed the Maharashtra Government to transfer land to the Bombay High Court by September 7 for a new building. The court emphasized the project’s importance to avoid election-related delays. The state government committed to transferring the land by specified dates, and progress is being made to accommodate the high court’s facilities.
