At present, 10 courts were operating in Jharsuguda court premises. But the necessity of a family and vigilance court was increasingly being felt over a time.
Inspite of a decision of the State Government to open a vigilance court in every district, the public here was facing problems without having such a court in the district.
The matter was worse as post of Additional District Judge (ADJ) had been vacant where around 30,000 cases were pending for decision in Jharsuguda.
Lawyer Dines Pandey said a vigilance court was very much essential in the district without which the lawyers had to run to Sambalpur. There should not be any delay in setting up a vigilance court in the district, Pandey added.
Lawyer Bhupendra Baidya said that without vigilance court, people were waiting for a long time to get justice.
