Ranchi, Rana Pratap: Jharkhand High Court will get the gift of a new eco-friendly building today. The idea of ​​its construction also came after the formation of Jharkhand state. Earlier, the Patna High Court was established in the year 1916. Then on March 6, 1972, the first circuit bench of the Patna High Court was established at Ranchi in Chhotanagpur. The bench was established to cater to the needs of the tribal population of Chhotanagpur region. On April 8, 1976, the then Chief Justice Ujjwal Narayan Sinha inaugurated the permanent bench.

On the day of formation of Jharkhand High Court on 15 November 2000, there were 12 judges including Chief Justice VK Gupta. After the formation of the new Jharkhand state, the number of cases increased every year. Along with this, the number of lawyers, scribes and clients also increased. On January 1, 2007, the number of judges was increased to 20. At that time there was a shortage of space in the five-acre High Court complex at Doranda. Court rooms were few. The number of court rooms was increased in the same premises. In this sequence, the pressure on the campus started increasing. The number of vehicles also increased. Parking problem started to arise. Lawyer-clients were forced to park their vehicles on the roadside.

The client has the first right on the court, but here there was no place for the clients, even the women and the children accompanying them to sit. There was also less space for the lawyers to sit. There is a saying that the lawyer will argue well, then the decision will also be good, but the lawyers did not have enough facilities to study here. There was less space for the library. There are 2500 lawyers here and there are a dozen chairs in the library. In such a situation, the idea of ​​building a new complex for the High Court came up.
