1 AS INTRODUCED IN LOK SABHA Bill No. 115 of 2016 THE HIGH COURT OF RAJASTHAN (ESTABLISHMENT OF A PERMANENT BENCH AT KARAULI) BILL, 2016 By DR. MANOJ RAJORIA, M.P. A BILL to provide for the establishment of a permanent Bench of the High Court of Rajasthan at Karauli. BE it enacted by Parliament in the Sixty-seventh Year of the Republic of India as follows:— 1. This Act may be called the High Court of Rajasthan (Establishment of a Permanent Short title. Bench at Karauli) Act, 2016. 5 2. There shall be established a permanent Bench of the High Court of Rajasthan at Karauli and such Judges of the High Court of Rajasthan, being not less than five in number, as the Chief Justice of that High Court may from time to time nominate, shall sit at Karauli in order to exercise the jurisdiction and power for the time being vested in that High Court in respect of cases arising in the districts of Karauli, Dholpur, Dausa, Bharatpur and Swai 10 Madhopur. STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Since the time a Bench of the High Court of Rajasthan, which is functioning at Jodhpur, was established at Jaipur, there has been a demand for the establishment of a permanent Bench of the High Court at Karauli. Rajasthan is one of the largest States and Karauli is a divisional headquarter which is situated in the eastern part of Rajasthan. The number of pending cases of Karauli division in the High Court are numerous. Besides, in a large number of cases, the Government of the State of Rajasthan or its various departments or some Public Sector Undertakings or autonomous bodies under it happen to be a party. Therefore, establishment of a permanent Bench at Karauli will not only reduce unnecessary expenditure from the public exchequer but would also benefit the people from Karauli, Dholpur, Dausa, Bharatpur and Swai Madhopur. Hence this Bill.
