The judiciary is an important pillar on which the Indian democracy rests. When a person faces any type of injustice, judiciary is often his last resort. But even in Judiciary, in view of the large number of pending cases, there is not much scope for speedy justice. If Justice is delayed then it amounts for denial of justice. Keeping in view the geographical location of the State of Odisha, people living in Western Odisha region face a lot of obstacles and inconveniences to travel a long distance to reach the High Court at Cuttack to get justice. This is not only time consuming but also expensive for citizens belonging to weaker sections of society. There has been a long pending demand from the people of Western Odisha that a Bench of High Court should be established in Western Odisha region which will provide much needed relief to the litigants who are not in a position to bear the burden of expenditure on account of travelling and lodging to attend hearing of their cases at the High Court in Cuttack. Therefore, establishment of a permanent Bench of High Court of Orissa at Bargarh in the Western part of Odisha would greatly help in quick disposal of pending cases and delivery of justice to the poor residing in Western Odisha. Hence this Bill.
