HIGH COURT FOR HARYANA


The Government of Haryana has forwarded a copy of the resolution of the Haryana State Assembly for creation of a separate High Court for Haryana in the existing premises at Chandigarh by allocating 40 per cent building, Ministerial staff and administrative functionaries along with the judges appointed from the Haryana quota.

In this connection, The Government of India is of the view that establishment of a separate High Court of Haryana would depend upon the shifting of its capital from Chandigarh as also developing infrastructure for a new High Court within the State of Haryana. It also involves a Central legislation. The matter involves a long time factor. It is not, therefore, feasible to indicate a time-frame in this regard.
