The century-old court complex at Tirur.
The Tirur Bar Association has demanded a new court complex at Tirur, citing the limitations of the existing facility, which was established in 1910.
The present court complex has served the region for over a century, but it lacks the infrastructure needed for the growing number of cases and modern judicial requirements, said Bar Association officials.
More than 500 lawyers currently practise under the Tirur Bar Association, but the complex does not have enough space for offices, a library or consultation rooms.
Hundreds of litigants, police personnel, witnesses, and court staff who visit the court daily also face a shortage of waiting areas, sanitation facilities, and parking space.
The existing building does not have adequate facilities for digital courtrooms, e-filing, secure record storage, and accessibility for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
The Bar Association has demanded a centenary court complex with courtrooms, conference rooms, a legal library, waiting areas, digital display systems, and other public amenities under one roof.
It has urged the Central and State governments, elected representatives, and judicial authorities to provide financial and administrative support for the project.
K.M. Saleem, former treasurer of the Tirur Bar Association, said it was time for the authorities to consider a new court building for Tirur.
