Land selected for setting up National Law College in Puducherry: CM N Rangasamy

Chief Minister N Rangasamy has confirmed that the land has been identified for establishing a national law college in UT of Puducherry.

Chief Minister N Rangasamy, Union Territory of Puducherry, has said that the land has been identified for setting up a national law college in the region.

While presiding over the inauguration of new buildings for Judicial Magistrate Courts I and II in Karaikal, he hoped that the foundation of the law college would be laid soon, as reported by The Hindu.

About the courts, he said that the vacancies in the courts would be soon filled and he sought the cooperation of advocates with the judges for bringing down the pendency of cases.

Inaugurating the new courts, Acting Chief Justice of the High Court of Madras T. Raja said, "the general perception that courts were there only to grant bails and issue stay orders must be erased from the minds of the public. The judiciary can determine the course of the nation."

"In the post-pandemic phase, lawyers must be prepared to discharge their duties through technology-oriented approaches such as video-conferencing and live-streaming," he added.

Lt. Governor of Puducherry Tamilisai Soundararajan spoke of the importance of a speedy justice delivery system for the common man.

 R. Selvam, Speaker, Puducherry Legislative Assembly, K. Lakshminarayanan, Public Works Minister, S. Chandira Priyanga, Transport Minister, and J. Selvanathan, Chief Judge, Puducherry, took part in the function.

The Chief Minister has recently said that soon a medical university will also be set up in Puducherry to provide quality education to all students in UT.
