GURUGRAM: Sohna , which is fast emerging as a sub-urban area of Gurugram, with increasing number of residential and commercial projects coming up, is all set to get a full-fledged court complex . The sub-court which at present houses three courts will have eight courts following the inauguration on December 16.The chief justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Krishna Murari, will inaugurate the centralised air-conditioned complex with modern amenities on Sunday. Justice Mahesh Grover, judge of the Punjab and Haryana HC and administrative judge of sessions division in Gurugram and chairman of building committee (Haryana), and Justice Anil Kshetarpal, administrative judge of sessions division in Gurgoan, will also be present on the occasion.District and session court of Gurugram has two sub-ordinates courts in Sohna and Pataudi. The sub-court in Sohna was set up in September 2013 with two courts, which later went up to three.The need to construct a new court complex came up as the sub-court in Sohna was being run from a rented building of the market committee and was in a dilapidated condition.Sources informed that though the complex had three courts only two were functional as one of the judges was on maternity leave.Another reason for the revamp is that the three courts are of judicial magistrate Ist class ( JMiC ) level which has a limited jurisdiction over cases. In many cases, it was observed that people had to approach the Gurugram court to settle their legal disputes.The new court complex will have courts of JMiC, chief judicial magistrate (CJM) and sessions court. There is also a proposal to shift few sessions courts from Gurugram to Sohna.Built over an area of 4.45 acre, the construction work of the new complex had started in January 2017 and has been built at a cost of Rs 22 crore.According to sources, the complex would have litigant’s hall, separate bar rooms for women and men, record room, witness protection centre and barracks to keep under trials brought for hearing. Besides, the court complex will also have daycare facility where judges, lawyers and even litigants can keep their children.“The court complex will be inaugurated on Sunday and courts will starts functioning from new complex from Monday,” said Ravi Kumar Sondhi, district and sessions judge of Gurugram.
