Kerala High Court Advocate’s Association Passed Resolution To Support Procuring 17.73 Acres Land For HC Development And Expansion

The KHCAA has decided to support the procurement of 17.73 acres of land located near to the Mangalavanam which is under the possession of Kerala Housing Board. The general body has also decided to form a sub-committee to support the Executive Committee of the KHCAA to take immediate steps to procure the land. The special nominees of the Sub Committee are Senior Advocate N N Sugunapalan, Advocate Thomas Abraham, Advocate Babu Paul, Advocate Krishnadas P Nair, Advocate P K Santhamma and Advocate C B Sreekumar.

The High Court had earlier informed the state government regarding space constraints and that it would be difficult to carry further expansion activities in the future as Mangalavanam was an ecologically sensitive area. Earlier this year, there was also a proposal for identification of land near Kalamassery in Kochi for building a new High Court. However, no final decision has been taken on it.
