Nanda plans court complex in Sec 43
Chandigarh, March 30 Good at appealing and succeeding in and out of the courtroom, fifth time president Nanda is sure of getting a sprawling court complex constructed soon on eight acres in Sector 43. Also willing to log on to a network of conveniences, Mr Nanda is working out the modalities for making judicial pronouncements available at the click of a button. Sitting behind a pile of briefs in his chamber, Mr Nanda says he has already taken up the matter regarding the setting up of the court complex with the authorities concerned in the Chandigarh Administration for a time-bound decision. Even the inspecting Judge of Chandigarh Sessions Division, Mr Justice M.M. Kumar, has assured full co-operation in expeditious disposal of the matter. Going into the background of the case, Mr Nanda says the situation was still okay when he joined the profession in the mid seventies. “There were just 300 lawyers and only a handful with cars. As a result parking was hardly an issue. The seating problem was subsequently solved with Justice S.S. Sodhi ensuring the construction of chambers for the lawyers.” Heaving a deep sigh, he adds: “But now things are different. Parking and seating problem is once pending disposal and the reason is not hard to see. As of now over 1800 lawyers are registered with the Bar Association. The number of courts, cases and litigants is also greater than before, resulting in some kind of chaos”. Mr Nanda says that the issue was taken up with the Administration about four years ago . In fact, the powers-that-be were asked to extend the existing Sector 17 court complex by giving them some area of the parking lot adjoining the inter-state bus terminus. But their appeal remained pending on one ground or another, resulting in denial of justice to the legal fraternity due to inordinate delay. Subsequently, land was allotted in Sector 43, but the work is yet to begin. As far as streamlining the judicial process is concerned, Mr Nanda says they have already purchased the equipment and are in the process of installing it. “Very soon the lawyers and the litigants will be saved from the inconvenience of going from one person to another for obtaining the copies of judicial pronouncements. The same will be readily available on the Internet”. Mr Nanda says that the setting up of a dispensary in the court complex is also on the top of his agenda. “The issue has already been discussed with the UT Home Secretary and we are hoping for a favourable verdict. A Junior Engineer from the Electricity Department has already visited the court complex for providing power connection.” As he talks, you wish that the lawyer inside him succeeds in winning the advocates’ case through persuasive arguments with the authorities concerned in larger public interest.

Back with a smile
Chandigarh, March 30 He expressed satisfaction over the conduct and performance of his team at the games, but had a few reservations. He was of the view that if we wanted more than five medals from boxers in the future, we should start planning. Our boxers lacked stamina and endurance in the last rounds, which was a matter of concern, he said. To overcome this problem, we should increase the number of competitions, hold long training camps and providing them foreign exposure, he opined.
