In
a letter addressed to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi on 03.01.2015 by Mrs.
Aishwarya Bhati, secretary of the SCBA, a copy of which has been accessed by
the ‘Kerala Law Review’, the SCBA has expressed its gratitude to the Lt.
Governor for granting time to discuss the issues being faced by the Association
and its members, and also flagged certain issues which it proposes to discuss
with the Lt. Governor tomorrow, that is on Sunday.
The
SCBA has sought the “proactive assistance”
of the Lt. Governor in sorting out the issue of limited parking facilities available
to the members of the Association. The SCBA has also flagged the hazards faced
by lawyers on the Bhagwan Dass Road which lies between the Supreme Court
compound and the chamber blocks. The Association points out that the road poses
a ‘serious safety issue for lawyers and litigants, who need to cross over to
either side through the day’. The SCBA has proposed to the Lt. Governor that
this road “be merged with the Supreme
Court compound so that the compound becomes a single seamless premises”. The
SCBA has also pointed out that this “can
also serve as a parking solution/auditorium space or plain lawns and if need be,
underground arterial road can be created instead of existing Bhagwan Dass Road”.
The
SCBA has also sought : (i) allotment of any open parcel of land available with
the Delhi Government within the vicinity of Supreme Court for construction of
auditorium and additional chamber blocks for lawyers, and (ii) allotment of any
open parcel of land available with the Delhi Government to construct a group
housing project for members of the SCBA within the National Capital Region.
