Need for better facilities for advocates:CJI

Stressing the need to provide better facilities to advocates, Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan said this would improve the efficiency of the legal system and also help the general public. Inaugurating the commencement of the construction work for an advocates Chamber Complex in the High Court here, Mr Balakrishnan said Kerala was the only state in the country which did not provide separate chambers for advocates. Even district courts in places like New Delhi and Madurai had chambers for advocates, he said. Alluding to the controversy over the land earmarked in the High Court for putting up advocates chambers here, he said all controversies should be forgotten and the project should be carried forward. The Chief Justice said a proposal by lawyers in New Delhi for a 10 acre area to construct additional chambers was pending before the Prime Minister. The 520-chamber complex is expected to be completed within 18 months.
