The SCBA President Vikas Singh urged Chief Justice Gavai to relocate the National Judicial Museum to enhance access for lawyers and the public. This move would address infrastructure issues, creating more space for lawyers’ chambers and facilitating virtual hearings, ultimately improving convenience within the Supreme Court premises.
