The proposed Judicial City, which will house the Kerala High Court, the Kerala Judicial Academy, and a mediation centre, will be established at Kalamassery, the Kerala government has said.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan met with High Court Chief Justice AJ Desai on Sunday, 4 February, and formulated an action plan for establishing the Judicial City at Kalamassery, the state government said.
For this purpose, a land inspection will be conducted on 17 February in the presence of high court judges and state ministers, a government release noted.
It said that the decision was taken considering the shortage of space at the present high court complex near Marine Drive inside Kochi.
The proposed project will be established on a 27-acre plot, which will include the 60-room high court complex, the judicial academy, a mediation centre, offices of the judges and advocate general, as well as staff quarters, advocate chambers, and parking facilities, among others.
More land will be acquired if needed, Law Minister P Rajeev said.
Rajeev, also Minister for Industries and Coir, Revenue Minister K Rajan, high court judges AK Jayasankaran Nambiar, M Muhamed Mustaque, and Bechu Kurian took part in the meeting, along with officials.
