The KRVV has strongly objected to the Chief Justice of India K J Balakrishnan’s statement discouraging establishment of Supreme Court Circuit Bench in other parts of the Country.
The legal Commission had recently recommended to the Union Government to set up Supreme Court Bench in Kolkatta, Mumbai, Chennai or Hyderabad.
M K Vijaykumar, President, KRVV has questioned the denial saying that it is necessary in the interest of Justice.
“Even the High Court has established circuit benches, does it mean that it has lost its credibility ? We are finding it difficult in travelling, filing cases, conveyance and time, we need a Bench in South India,” he said.
He said that KRVV will begin an agitation if the Supreme Court bench is not established in the City.
