8 km distance between new and family court building in Rajkot alone in Gujarat

Rajkot: The country's first state-of-the-art district court has been built at a cost of Rs. 110 crore in Rajkot, while in the new court building of Rajkot, all the courts were transferred in January-2024 and the family court was kept functional at the old collector's office. "There is a distance of 8 km between the new court building and the family court and when the case of the same parties is going on in both the courts and the same date is found, the parties and their lawyers have a lot of rush. Lawyers and parties have to face a lot of trouble as cases related to marriage are going on in the new building and family court, and it often happens that on the same day, the parties have to face a lot of trouble due to both the alimony case and the criminal case being fixed in different courts on the same date. So there are a lot of difficulties faced in the judicial process. According to the set-up in the family court, a presiding officer is not appointed, due to which there is a delay in delivering justice, but in the family court, the chief presiding officer has to go to Gondal and Jasdan for fifteen days and another judge of the family court has to go to Jetpur and Dhoraji for fifteen days to perform duty. All these facts are taken into account How can women get instant justice? Other courts in the state of Gujarat have a family court system in the main building. As a result, advocates and parties do not have to suffer harassment. There is a huge space in the new court building of Rajkot. It is very important that the government should make an auspicious plan for speedy and speedy justice to the advocates and the parties by proceeding to the new building of the family court in the building in which the government space is located inside or adjacent to the building. 3,000 cases pending in family court, 4 court setup, yet only 3 are functional At present, 3,000 cases are pending in the family court of Rajkot. Despite having a four-court setup in the family court, only three courts are functioning. Two of these court judges have to go to two different talukas for 15-15 days and according to the setup of four courts, one more court staff has been demanded to be allotted. 12 posts of patawala-nayak vacant There are a total of 12 posts of patawalas and nayaks in the family court and all these seats are vacant. Only 3 junior clerks and daily wagers work with staff. Therefore, since there is no class-4 employee in the permanent staff, the parties and lawyers have to suffer a lot.
