CM Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurates new advocate chambers in Khatima, announces Rs 2.5 crore for expansion and highlights judicial reforms.

"This is making the judicial system more effective. - CM Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Khatima, February 15

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurated the newly constructed chambers for advocates at Khatima Civil Court, built at a cost of Rs 1 crore, by cutting the ribbon and lighting the ceremonial lamp on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister congratulated the advocates and extended his best wishes on the occasion of Mahashivratri and the construction of the new chambers.

He said the new chambers will become an important centre for judicial discussions and legal studies for advocates and will help make judicial work easier and faster. He added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several important steps are being taken to make the judicial system more transparent. He said the facility will benefit advocates coming from Khatima and nearby areas, as well as the general public.

CM Dhami further stated that the Prime Minister has done historic work by removing outdated and unnecessary laws from the British era and implementing the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 in accordance with present-day requirements. He said this is making the judicial system more effective.

According to the statement from the Chief Minister's Office, initiatives such as the e-Courts project, National Judicial Data Grid, fast-track courts, special courts, speedy justice mechanisms for crimes against women and children, online hearings, and digital case management systems have brought revolutionary changes to make the justice delivery system faster and more accessible.

He added that the effective use of technology in courts today has not only saved time but has also made processes more transparent and secure, making the justice process more reliable, scientific, and authentic.

The Chief Minister said that after Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office, more than 7,000 courts and around 11,000 residential units have been constructed across the country, which is a major record in itself.

He said that, inspired by the Prime Minister, Uttarakhand is making continuous efforts to modernise the judicial system and further strengthen legal education. He added that every sector of Khatima will be developed.

The Chief Minister also announced Rs 2.5 crore for the construction of 20 additional chambers for advocates.

Good to see development reaching the courts in our hill state. However, I hope this isn't just an inauguration event. The announced 2.5 crore for expansion must be utilized efficiently and without delays. We need to see the 20 new chambers built on time.

Jai Uttarakhand! On Mahashivratri, this is a blessed beginning. Modern court facilities are crucial. The mention of fast-track courts for crimes against women and children is very important. Hope this speeds up justice in our state. Har Har Mahadev! 🔱

As someone who has followed judicial reforms, the shift from colonial-era laws to the new Sanhitas is indeed significant. Infrastructure like this supports that transition. Hope the benefits reach the litigants who often have to wait for years.

While new chambers are good, the real test is in reducing case pendency. Uttarakhand courts have a huge backlog. The funds should also focus on appointing more judges and staff. Development of every sector in Khatima is a big promise—hope it's fulfilled.

My brother is a lawyer in Udham Singh Nagar district. He says working conditions in many tehsil courts are very basic. This initiative in Khatima sets a positive example. The ₹2.5 crore announcement is substantial. Hope other towns get similar focus!
