In a major boost for judicial infrastructure in Haryana, Chief Justice Suryakant has announced the establishment of a new Sessions Division in Hansi. This development comes as part of ongoing efforts to enhance access to justice in the region, particularly addressing the growing caseload and geographical challenges faced by residents.
Hansi, a key town in Hisar district, has long been identified as needing its own judicial setup due to its significant population and distance from existing courts. The Chief Justice made the announcement during a recent high-level meeting focused on judicial reforms. ‘This new Sessions Division will significantly reduce the burden on neighboring courts and ensure faster resolution of cases,’ he stated, emphasizing the commitment to decentralized justice delivery.
The move is expected to cover a wide range of civil and criminal matters, including sessions trials, appeals, and other high court functions previously handled at district headquarters. Local leaders and bar associations have welcomed the decision, hailing it as a long-overdue step that will benefit thousands of litigants who often travel long distances for hearings.
Infrastructure development will commence soon, with allocations for new court buildings, staff recruitment, and digital integration. This aligns with the Supreme Court’s vision of ‘Justice at Doorstep,’ aiming to make the legal system more efficient and citizen-friendly. Experts predict that the Sessions Division could be operational within the next 18-24 months, marking a new era for legal services in rural Haryana.
As Haryana continues to witness rapid urbanization and population growth, such initiatives are crucial. The Chief Justice also hinted at similar expansions in other underserved areas, signaling a proactive approach to judicial planning. Residents of Hansi and surrounding villages can now look forward to quicker justice without the hassles of travel and delays.
