Set up SC bench in Bengaluru, says Rajya Sabha MP K C Ramamurthy

Rajya Sabha MP K C Ramamurthy on Thursday demanded that a bench of the Supreme Court be set up in Bengaluru.

This would help people in the southern region who face a lot of difficulty in commuting to Delhi for their cases in the Supreme Court, said Ramamurthy, raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha. He added that it should be on the line of the different benches of the high courts.

Since Bengaluru has the necessary infrastructure, setting up the bench in the city would also help other southern states, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, he said.
