High Court Bench at Thiruvananthapuram - A Con on the Common Man

Do I understand that all government related cases would be at Trivandrum when the Bench is established?

If so, it would definitely benefit the common man. The petitioners from all the districts north of Kollam will have a good time conducting cases at Trivandrum. Think of the poor Endosulfan victims of Kasargode being able to visit Trivandrum. And the many others - almost 80% of the population. They would have a chance of seeing Trivandrum , if they want to fight a case against the government.

My suggestion is that all important installations of the State should be moved to Trivandrum. Energy is the most important thing today. Is it not essential that Idukki dam at least, should be near Pattom Vydyuthi Bhavan, so that Board members and officials need not waste public funds to visit the dam?

What about Vallarpadom, Smart City and the like? Why not move all the Collectorates to Trivandrum for better and quicker governance to benefit the common man? For averting killings at Kannur through immediate intervention, Kannur district might be shifted to near the DGP’s office.

The lawyers in Trivandrum courts are known for their integrity [they even remove and substitute underwear produced in evidence]. The Trivandrum bureaucracy is all descended from Raja Harishchandra. As such, at least for a corruption-free judiciary, we must have not just a Bench, but the High Court itself shifted to Trivandrum. People like Sabarinath who might have bail cases, should not suffer any longer having to brief lawyers in far away Kochi.

All bribe-takers in Trivandrum visit Sabarimala devotedly. They, as well as the Devaswam Board, would find it convenient to have Sabarimala brought to Trivandrum. Finally, if somebody like Karunakaran becomes CM, we might have to shift Guruvayoor also.

The people of the State are being duped to benefit a few incompetent lawyers in Trivandrum.
