Madurai High Court Judges inaugurate 3 Additional District Munsif Courts & office room, inspect facilities & hear representations from advocates.
Madras High Court Judges Justice D. Krishnakumar and Justice K. Murali Shankar inaugurated three Additional District Munsif Courts and an office room on the Madurai District Court premises on Saturday.
The High Court Judges inspected the facilities. Principal District and Sessions Judge S. Sivakadatcham, Collector M.S. Sangeetha, Corporation Commissioner L. Madhubalan, District Court Judges and advocates were present.
Madurai Bar Association President A. Nedunchezian and Secretary S. Mohan Kumar submitted representations to the judges. The representation said that the Madurai District Munsif Court had jurisdiction over the previous Madurai Corporation limit of 72 wards since 1996.
The representation pointed out that at present, the jurisdiction of Madurai Corporation had expanded from 72 wards to 100 wards. The newly included areas of Madurai Corporation were situated in the limits of the Madurai, Tirumangalam and Melur Munsif Courts. It caused hardship to the litigants and advocates, they said and sought the inclusion of all the wards under the single jurisdiction of the District Munsif Court, Madurai, for better adjudication.
The advocates said that the opening of the new courts would help in quick disposal of cases. They pointed out that there were a lot of cases pending before the Family Court, Madurai. The filing of new cases had increased. Therefore, there was a need for an Additional Family Court, they said.
The advocates requested the judges to take necessary steps to establish an Additional Family Court on the Madurai District Court premises. The advocates also made representation seeking additional infrastructure on the District Court campus for the benefit of litigants and advocates. The judges told the advocates that the issues would be looked into.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
