Judicial infrastructure not optional but essential: CJI Surya Kant

CJI Surya Kant emphasizes the critical need for enhanced judicial infrastructure during the Telangana High Court Zone II foundation stone ceremony.

State governments across the political spectrum recognise that strengthening judicial infrastructure is not optional but essential, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said on Sunday (April 5, 2026).

Addressing the gathering after laying the foundation stone for Telangana High Court Zone II, which includes residential buildings for judges and the Chief Justice, Justice Surya Kant said that when the judiciary and executive align in purpose, the Constitution truly comes alive.

"The momentum across the country gives me great confidence. In the past few months alone, I have had the privilege of laying foundation stones for judicial court complexes in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and now Telangana," he said.

"State governments across the political spectrum recognise that strengthening judicial infrastructure is not optional, but extremely essential," he added.

After viewing the conceptual drawings and models on display, the CJI said the proposed 100-acre new High Court complex will be among the best in the country.

Justice Surya Kant added that during his discussion with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, he was assured that the entire High Court complex, including residential and other infrastructure, would be completed within two years.
