Prayagraj,

31 May (HS): Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath addressed the inauguration ceremony of advocate chambers and parking

building built at a cost of Rs 680 crore in the High Court premises on Saturday

in the presence of Chief Justice of India Justice Bhushan Ramakrishna Gavai.

During this, he recalled the program organized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi

in Allahabad High Court in 2017 and said that then the PM had said that the

first condition of good governance is the rule of law. The CM said that in the

rule of law, the litigant is as important as the bar and bench. The CM

expressed the pain of the advocates and said that along with broken chambers

and sitting under trees, the advocates are seen working in every adverse

situation and struggling for justice.

Prayagraj

attracts the attention of the country and the world as the land of religion,

knowledge and justice of modern India: The Chief Minister said that today is a

glorious day. Today is the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata

Ahilyabai Holkar. This year is also the Amrit Mahotsav year of the

implementation of the Constitution of India. The CM said that Prayagraj is the

land of India's heritage in UP. This land has been attracting the attention of the

country and the world since ancient times as the Triveni of Maa Ganga, Yamuna

and Saraswati as well as the land of religion, knowledge and justice of modern

India. The land of Prayagraj is also the land of Maha Kumbh. By taking a dip in

the Sangam here, every Indian felt proud by connecting himself with his

heritage.

Multilevel

parking will be successful only when some of its space is used commercially: CM

Yogi said that multilevel parking is built, but no one goes there. I repeatedly

tell the urban bodies that it will be successful only when some of its space is

used commercially. The CM said that the development authority built a

multilevel parking in Gorakhpur six years ago, it did not work. I said that

operate it by giving commercial space in its last two floors. As soon as this

happened, today the entire complex is full. People who used to park their

vehicles on the roads, park their vehicles in the complex and go there and

enjoy the facilities.

He

told the implementing agencies to build it in a way that is a model: CM Yogi,

while praising the excellent arrangements, said that here, along with

multi-level parking, advocate chambers, cafeteria, modern kitchen, conference

facilities are also available. This can be a new model for infrastructure. CM

Yogi said that when we came, there were no district courts in 10 districts of

UP. Sometimes the Chief Justice and sometimes we did not like the map. Then we

told the implementing agencies to build it in a way that is a model. Along with

building an integrated court complex, build parking and advocate chambers in

it. Out of the proposals we had given, seven districts have received approval

from here, 1700 crores have been released for this purpose. The cases of three

other districts have also been settled by the court.

Litigants

will get all facilities related to judicial work under a roof: CM Yogi said

that when the Integrated Court Complex is built, litigants will get all

facilities related to judicial work under one roof. There will also be chambers

and car parking for advocates. There will also be housing facility for judicial

officers. The effort that has started in the construction of a good complex

will become a model. The central and state governments together are committed

to providing maximum facilities in district courts and solving the problems of

advocates.

Advocate

fund increased to five lakh: CM said that the amount of advocate fund has been

increased from one and a half lakh to five lakh and age limit has been increased

from 60 to 70 years. A corpus fund of 500 crores has been given separately. In

case of an accident with any advocate, the trustee committee will make good use

of this money for that family. New advocates are being provided assistance for

journals, magazines and books for the first three years.

Allahabad

High Court also played a big role in the successful Maha Kumbh: CM Yogi said

that the excellent infrastructure assures that the speed of justice will

increase at the same pace and give a new dimension to progress. He said that

the Maha Kumbh was held successfully in Prayagraj. More than 66 crore devotees

from the country and abroad went away overwhelmed. Allahabad High Court also

played a big role in this. The entire program was completed efficiently, which

gave Prayagraj a new identity. If everyone together will be able to discharge

their responsibilities in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution made

by Baba Saheb, then results can be achieved.

Funds

will soon be made available for the extension of multi-level parking and

advocate chambers: CM said that multi-level parking and advocate chambers have

been constructed very well. CM assured that whatever funds will be required for

its extension will be made available very soon, so that we will be able to do

even better in the land of justice-knowledge and religion, so that litigants of

UP can get justice in a timely manner.

On

this occasion, Supreme Court judges Justice Suryakant, Justice Vikram Nath,

Justice JK Maheshwari, Justice Pankaj Mittal, Justice Manoj Mishra, Allahabad

High Court Chief Justice Arun Bhansali, Delhi High Court Chief Justice Justice

Devendra Kumar Upadhyay, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, UP Advocate General
