Rohtak has been my source of inspiration: CJI Surya Kant

The ceremony began with the traditional lighting of the lamp. In his address, the CJI also spoke about judicial infrastructure, stating that construction of the new Supreme Court building is underway in three phases. The new complex, he said, will have 34 additional courtrooms and is expected to meet requirements for the next 50 years. Referring to integrated court complexes, he said the government and the Bar should consider establishing such a facility in view of future needs.

District and Sessions Judge Ajay Tewatia felicitated the CJI by presenting him a turban and a memento. Administrative Judge Vikas Suri and Deputy Commissioner Sachin Gupta presented commemorative souvenirs. Justice Surya Kant signed a portrait presented by the lawyers, which will be placed in the Bar room.

Among those present were Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Sheel Nagu, Justice Harsimran Singh Sethi, Haryana Minister for Cooperation, Elections, Prisons, Tourism and Heritage Dr Arvind Sharma, several High Court judges, senior district officials and members of the Bar.

Earlier, Justice Surya Kant inaugurated the newly constructed Golden Jubilee Gate at Maharshi Dayanand University and planted a sapling, emphasising the importance of environmental conservation.
