Ramana tells lawyers to strive for rights of people
Chief Justice of India (CJI) N. V. Ramana said that a large number of cases were pending in the Andhra Pradesh High Court which did not have adequate number of judges to deal with them. There was a possibility of appointing new judges in the High Court, he said.
He was speaking at a meeting jointly organised by the AP High Court Advocates’ Association and AP State Bar Council near the High Court at Nelapadu on Sunday. The associations felicitated Justice Ramana and his wife Sivamala on the occasion. They presented a memento and a shawl to the couple.
Justice Ramana said that efforts were being made to address the issue. A letter was written to the High Court regarding the appointment of judges and a list was sought. The names would be approved once the list was received, he said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
