| HC directs state to install CCTV cameras at Jammu, Srinagar court complexes | | | Early Times Report
jammu, Mar 17: A high court division bench of Chief Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar and Justice Tashi Rabstan today directed state to install CCTV cameras at Jammu and Srinagar court complexes at the locations already identified by the security wing within four weeks.
The court directive came in a PIL, seeking security of court complex, advocates and litigants.
After hearing the two sides, the bench observed that in terms of November 30, 2015 and December 2, 2015 orders on security concerns in the high court complex in Jammu and Srinagar and the district court complex at Janipur here, the state had filed the compliance report.
"It is stated to install 50 CCTV cameras in and around the court premises - 25 each at Jammu and Srinagar. It is also stated at Bar on behalf of the state that out of 50 CCTV cameras, some have already been installed in the Jammu and Srinagar court premises. The state is therefore directed to install the remaining CCVT cameras in the premises of the two courts at the locations already indentified by the security wing of the state within four weeks. Registrar General is directed to ensure providing of a command room for installation of monitors for CCTV cameras within the aforesaid period," the bench directed.
So far as Maalkhana is concerned, which is presently housed in the basement of the lower court building at Janipur, it was stated by the state that it needed to be shifted. Upon this, the bench directed to identify land for this purpose in consultation with Registrar General within four weeks and report compliance accordingly.
The bench also directed the state to make a provision in the budget itself for the construction of a new Maalkahana.
The bench said so far as the explosive material in the Maalkhana was concerned, it was the duty of the state to destroy it, asking it to destroy it forthwith. "In doing so, they may also take the help of army experts," the court said and directed that henceforth no explosive material be kept at Maalkhana housed in the basement of lower court building at Janipur. "Till the construction of new Maalkhana, any such material either be kept at Police Maalkhana or at any such place which is exclusively meant for such purposes," the court said.
During the course of hearing, the registrar general also produced a copy of February 23, 2016 communication No 3170-75/SPCN of minutes of the multi-agency security review meeting which was held at High Court Complex here on February 16, 2016. After its perusal, the court directed him to take necessary steps in consultation with the concerned state authorities with regard to the four points as raised in the said meeting and the five points raised in the December 15, 2015 compliance report filed by the state for enhancing the security grid of high court and district court complex in Jammu.
Let this exercise be completed within four weeks, the bench directed. (JNF) |
