JAMMU, July 23: A delegation comprising elected members of Bar Association RS Pura today met acting Chief Justice (CJ) of Jammu and Kashmir High Court Tashi Rabstan and submitted a detailed memorandum demanding the sitting of a permanent additional district and session judge in Munsiff Court RS Pura.
The delegation under the leadership of Bar president Raj Kamal Thakyal, vice president Sonika Gupta, general secretary DK Raina and cashier DK Mottan explained the CJ regarding the pressing need of the district and session judge in Munsiff Court RS Pura.
While explaining the issue it was humbly submitted that, being the oldest court, established in the year 1905, having the area of 43 Kanals and 10 Marlas, Munsiff Court RS Pura has not been upgraded till date, despite the fact that the Court serves to one of the largest populated tehsils among the Jammu district. They stated that the advocates, local residents and litigants have to travel about 50 km to reach District Court Janipur, for attending their cases.
The Bar members also pressed upon the fact that the number of advocates practicing in the Munsiff Court RS Pura is steadily increasing and currently it stands at 56. This growing number underscores the need for the sitting of one permanent additional district and session judge at Munsiff Court RS Pura to support their work and ensure the efficient administration of justice, they asserted.
The CJ gave a patient hearing to the demand presented by the Bar Association RS Pura. While responding positively to the demands raised, the CJ assured to the delegation, to resolve immediately the genuine demand for the sitting of additional district and session judge in Munsiff Court RS Pura.
