Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said courts must build public confidence and ensure people feel secure about getting justice. He stressed that the Bar and the Bench are “two arms of the same institution” while laying the foundation stone for a new court complex in Tirupati.
Members of the Gauhati High Court Bar Association began a three-day, six-hour hunger strike opposing the proposed relocation of the court complex. The new Gauhati High Court building is planned at Rangmahal, North Guwahati, with the foundation stone to be laid on January 11.
