The Bench of Justice Vineet Saran and Justice JK Maheshwari seeking Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to be present for the Case with response from Centre on the matter on Tuesday.
The Public Interest Litigation filed by Advocate Ardhendumauli Prasad seeking ‘Judicial Vista’ on adjoining land of Supreme Court premises so that facilities for litigants can be enhanced and more work space for Judges, Lawyers and Official can be created.
“Just like you have Central Vista, it is a logical and correct thing to have a Judicial Vista in a planned manner,” the Bench said.
Central Vista project is ongoing project to renovate Parliament, Offices of Central Government and other important buildings in Lutyens Zone of New Delhi.
Prasad said that “the infrastructure that is available at the Supreme Court is disproportionate to the growth of the Court in terms of number of judges, the registry, the bar, and most important the volume of cases.”
In the Petition it is demanded that to see the infrastructural requirement of Judiciary in the whole country an independent Central Authority under the Administrative Control of Chief Justice of India should be appointed.
The Bench said “The Supreme Court must have a proper establishment to work properly. At present, the growth of buildings is unplanned with something coming up here and something there.”
