The Supreme Court was updated on the relocation progress of the Bombay High Court to a new complex. The Advocate General requested an extension for land handover until January 31, citing challenges. Meanwhile, a structural audit of the current building is planned. The Court’s next hearing is scheduled for April to review progress.
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.
