Dumka: Members of the legal fraternity in the state, especially in the Santhal Pargana, have welcomed the decision of chief minister Hemant Soren to set up a bench of the Jharkhand high court in Dumka.
“We are glad to learn that the chief minister has approved the proposal for setting up a high court bench in Dumka, directing the building construction department to identify a plot for the same. The fact, however, is that around 13 to 15 acres of land have already been acquired by the district administration about a decade ago,” Jharkhand Bar Council advocate Gopeshwar Prasad Jha told TOI. Jha had recently submitted a memorandum to Soren in connection to the demand for a separate bench.
