Punjab & Haryana HC Faces Court Hall Shortage

The Punjab and Haryana High Court, which serves as the highest judicial authority for the states of Punjab and Haryana, is grappling with a significant shortage of court halls. With a sanctioned strength of 85 judges, the court currently has only 69 court halls at its disposal. This shortage is leading to difficulties in the court's day-to-day operations and is likely to impact the delivery of justice. The court's ability to hear cases efficiently and manage its workload is being compromised due to the lack of adequate infrastructure.
