dated September 26, 1957: The Trivandrum Bench

The Chief Justice of Kerala has informed the Trivandrum Bar Association that he and his colleagues are “definitely of the opinion” that the High Court should not sit at more than one place and therefore it is not possible to accede to the Association’s request to grant filing powers to the Trivandrum Bench, a spokesman of the Association said. The Association had requested the Chief Justice to confer filing powers on the Bench. It also requested him to specify appeals to be heard at Trivandrum so that the Bench could continue to function until filing powers were conferred on it. The spokesman said that in a communication to the Association, the Chief Justice has said that the existing Trivandrum Bench was set up purely as a temporary measure and that the idea was to withdraw it immediately the pending cases at Trivandrum were exhausted or reduced below a workable minimum.
