Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the urgent need for bifurcation of District Courts in Delhi and the creation of additional posts in the Delhi Higher Judicial Service, as highlighted in the report submitted by the Registrar of the Delhi High Court. The Court emphasized the deteriorating conditions of existing court complexes, particularly Tis Hazari and Patiala House, which are inadequate for the current volume of litigation and public service requirements. The Court's holding underscores the necessity for modern facilities to ensure efficient administration of justice, thereby accepting the recommendations of the Committee for the division of Delhi into separate Judicial Districts.
