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.
The Bombay High Court has urged the Maharashtra government to prioritize the construction of a new building, stressing the impact of space constraints on judicial functions. Despite persistent requests, the government sought more time to provide progress updates, prompting the court to emphasize the need for prompt action and prioritize the matter.
