The office bearers of Rajkot Bar Association have backed the city’s plea for a new bench of the Gujarat High Court, following an earlier petition.
Rajkot’s long‑standing demand for a dedicated bench of the Gujarat High Court has gained new momentum after the city’s bar association office bearers publicly endorsed the campaign.
The petition, which was filed earlier with the High Court, seeks to establish a bench in Rajkot to address the growing backlog of cases and improve access to justice for residents of the region.
The bar association’s support reflects a growing consensus among legal professionals in the city, potentially strengthening the case before the court and signaling that the demand has moved beyond a fringe issue.
While the Gujarat High Court has not yet announced a decision, the endorsement may prompt a closer review of the petition and accelerate the process of setting up a bench in Rajkot.
