Delhi Government Commits to Judicial Strengthening with New Court Complexes

The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, pledges to support the judiciary by increasing budgetary allocations and building new court complexes. The foundation stones for these complexes were laid by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, aiming to enhance judicial infrastructure and accessibility in the region.

In a significant move toward judicial strengthening, the Delhi government under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has vowed to fulfill its promises of justice and support to the judiciary, stated Delhi Law Minister Atishi on Tuesday.

During a foundation stone laying ceremony for three new court complexes in Karkardooma, Shastri Park, and Rohini Sector-26, Atishi highlighted that the budgetary allocation for the courts has dramatically increased—rising from Rs 760 crore in 2014-15 to nearly Rs 3,000 crore in 2024-25. Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud presided over the ceremony held at the Karkardooma Court.

The new court buildings are designed to reflect the trust in the Constitution and the hope for justice. Valued at Rs 1,100 crore, these projects mark a significant expansion of Delhi's judicial infrastructure, which has seen the inauguration of 60 courtroom complexes at Rouse Avenue in 2019, the addition of 144 courtrooms to Saket, Tis Hazari, and Karkardooma courts, and the construction of new facilities at the Delhi High Court. Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena emphasized that these new green buildings, equipped with rainwater harvesting and solar power, will make justice more accessible to Delhi's residents.
