“Don’t just keep saying heritage, heritage. Be ready to move. Look at the problems litigants are facing. There is no place to sit, no drinking water facilities, the clerical staff is surrounded by files,” said the Bombay High Court while slamming the interveners in the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by one Ahmed Abdi over paucity of space in the current building of the HC.

While the authorities are trying to shift the court to Bandra Government Colony, Jaykar and Jaykar, a law firm, intervened in the matter with an argument to not shift the court from its current address as it’s a heritage building. They also suggested that the court can rather acquire the nearby PWD or MTNL buildings instead of moving.
