Kolhapur: Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said his government was positive about introducing a law to ensure the safety of advocates and would take an appropriate decision in that regard.
The CM was speaking at an event in Kolhapur after Chief Justice of India B R Gavai inaugurated the Bombay high court’s new circuit bench there.
Fadnavis said there has been a demand for a law to ensure the safety of advocates and that his government was positive about the need for such legislation.
He said the government was committed to modernising and upgrading court infrastructure in the state so that justice is delivered to the common man expeditiously.
History has been created in Kolhapur with the culmination of a 50-year-old struggle to get a circuit bench of the HC, he said.
The chief minister recalled that the state cabinet had resolved on May 12, 2015, to set up a circuit bench in Kolhapur.
“When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Kolhapur (then) for a programme organised by Pudhari newspaper, a request for the circuit bench was placed before him,” he said.
