SILCHAR, Dec 13: As a part of the State Government's efforts to provide legal services to common people conveniently in the subdivision of Lakhipur in the district of Cachar, a court of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate and Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Class I would be set up in the municipal ward No. 7 for which land has been earmarked by the administration. With the personnel from the District Session Judge and settlement department making all necessary arrangements for allotment of land, the building to house the court would be raised. A signboard has been put up on the site of the court and work is expected to begin soon.
Chairman of the Lakhipur town committee, Kalyan Chandra Dey, has assured of all necessary help in this regard. In fact, demand for a sub-divisional court by people has been raised for a long time in view of the difficulties being facedby the litigants to travel to Silchar for court matters. It is not only time consuming but also expensive for many who can ill afford to meet the legal expenses which in several cases are thrust on unwilling people. SDO (Civil) Leena Das has been in touch with the state government and the judiciary for a suitable plot of land which has finally been taking shape. (SentinelAssam)
