Bhubaneswar: Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has suggested Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik consult the Orissa High Court Chief Justice in regard to the proposed establishment of permanent benches of the high court in western and southern parts of the state.
Once the state government along with the high court communicate their clear views, the Union government will take necessary action in this matter, the Union law and justice minister said in a letter to Patnaik.
“I once again request you to have the necessary consultation with the Chief Justice of the Orissa High Court and work out the details of the proposed bench(es),” Ravi Shankar wrote.
It is imperative that the Chief Justice is consulted and recommendations of the Orissa High Court are obtained before setting up of any bench(es) of the high court in the state, he said adding the same process is followed in the case of all other high courts.
Prasad said, “It goes without saying that once the recommendations of the high court are obtained, the state government has to provide the requisite infrastructure immediately”.
