Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps toward setting up a Supreme Court Bench in Chennai. The request comes as the state renews a long-pending demand for easier access to legal remedies for people in southern India.
According to the plea, first raised by the state in 1980, litigants from southern states face difficulties in travelling to New Delhi for court-related matters. The state has cited these practical challenges as a key reason for the proposal.
The demand for a Supreme Court Bench in Chennai remains under consideration. No official decision has been announced yet.
