Abhishek Kadyan, Media Adviser to the OIPA in India | 26.07.2009 02:25

The central Govt. turn down the proposal for separate High Court for the state of Haryana, where as Naresh Kadyan, representative of the International Organization for Animal Protection / Chairman of the People for Animals Haryana ask to set up new infrastructure for separate High Court for Haryana state in Rohtak - http://haryana-kadyan.blogspot.com/



New Delhi, July 25
The Centre has rejected Haryana’s proposal for setting up a separate high court for the state by bifurcating the existing building and staff of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Law Ministry has taken the decision in the light of views expressed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice.

“Keeping in mind the layout and structure of the building and the pattern of establishment, the bifurcation of the existing (HC) building, ministerial staff and administrative offices will not be feasible,” according to the Chief Justice.

The Judge has, however, clarified that a separate HC for Haryana may be formed, if so desired, only after setting up the entire infrastructure for running the HC at any other place that may be chosen by the state.

The Judge expressed his views in response to Haryana’s proposal that had been referred to him by the Centre. Law Minister M Veerappa Moily gave this information in Parliament on Thursday.

“The Government of Haryana was intimated that the suggestion for bifurcation of the existing building and staff was not practicable in view of the existence of the Chandigarh Administration,” he said in a written reply. The minister did not explain what he meant by the “existence of the Chandigarh Administration”.

The Haryana Assembly had unanimously passed a resolution in 2005, demanding a separate HC for the state. The state government had suggested that, to begin with, the present HC complex in Chandigarh should be bifurcated into two separate HCs, one for Punjab and the other for Haryana.

The state had sought 40 per cent of the building, ministerial staff and administrative functionaries along with the judges appointed from the Haryana quota.

Moily’s statement has come just a week after Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had expressed the hope that Haryana would soon have its own HC in Chandigarh. At a meet-the-press programme organised on the 29th foundation day of the Chandigarh Press Club on July 15, Hooda also said that his state had a legitimate right to have its own HC.

The Chief Minister said he had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Moily in this regard .
