Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor on Friday moved a private member’s Bill in Lok Sabha seeking to establish permanent Benches of the High Courts in the State capital. In Kerala, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Goa, Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Chhattisgarh the State High Court is situated outside the capital city.
The private member’s Bill was moved in Lok Sabha, after a gap of nearly two years. The private member’s business had been pushed back due to multiple reasons, curtailed hours due to COVID-19 protocol, and disruptions due to Opposition protest. Mr. Tharoor’s ‘Establishment of permanent Benches of High Courts at State capitals Bill’ too had been pending since 2019.
Though the Bill is meant for the States concerned, it specifically mentions Kerala where the permanent seat is in Ernakulam which is nearly 200 km away from the capital Thiruvananthapuram.
