To cater to the needs of Special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Jammu, foundation stone for a new building was laid by Chief Justice, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, Justice N Kotiswar Singh.

The foundation stone was laid at the District Court Complex, Jammu, in the presence of Justice Tashi Rabstan, Administrative Judge for Jammu district, Justice Sindhu Sharma, Justice Puneet Gupta, Justice Rahul Bharti and Justice Moksha Khajuria Kazmi.

Chief Justice said the new building should suitably cater to the needs of Special NIA Court with all its emphasis on security, protection of witnesses, etc. He said the new building will held in coping with shortage of infrastructure at the district headquarter. The initiative marked a pivotal step towards ensuring a more accessible, efficient and fair justice system for the people.

The Chief Justice and other judges also took stock of infrastructural facilities around the District Court Complex, besides interacting with the members of Bar Association, Jammu.

The Chief Justice lauded the initiatives as a testament to commitment of judiciary towards providing swift and accessible justice for all. He exhorted upon members of the Bar to come forward and join judicial services, especially in relation to recruitment from Bar to filling up of the post of District Judges against direct quota advocates.

Justice Tashi Rabstan said this is not just the foundation stone laying but the laying of ground work for a brighter future where justice is accessible, efficient and available to one and all.
