Panchkula, February 22

Senior advocates and former civil servants today called for a separate capital and High Court for Haryana. Former Deputy Secretary, Government of Haryana Mahinder Singh Chopra; former Bar Council Chairman of Punjab and Haryana; and Randhir Singh Badhran, former commissioner of the right to service commission Sunil Katyal; and others, under the banner ‘Haryana Banao Abhiyan’ held a press conference today and spoke about the importance of having a separate capital and High Court for Haryana.

MS Chopra said, “A major problem in the state is unemployment, and the establishment of a new capital for the state would generate new employment opportunities for the youth of Haryana.”

Randhir Singh Badhran said the justice delivery systems of Haryana and Punjab need improvements. He said, “Over 45 lakh people in Haryana are involved in litigation, and most of them are affected due to delays in the disposal of cases. Punjab and Haryana need separate high courts to resolve this issue.”
