Puttur, Feb 1, 2026: Courts function to deliver justice to the common people and this responsibility is constitutional in nature, Andhra Pradesh Governor Justice Abdul Nazeer said on Saturday after inaugurating the new court complex here.

Describing courts as symbols of the rule of law, Justice Abdul Nazeer said they play a vital role in ensuring justice for all against injustice in society. He emphasised that modern court buildings and the use of advanced technology are essential to facilitate the speedy delivery of justice.

Recalling the contribution of Bengal Narasimha Rao of Dakshina Kannada during the framing of the Constitution, the Governor said he played a significant role in incorporating several key provisions. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar had also acknowledged Narasimha Rao’s efforts, he noted.

Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Vibhubakhru said that in addition to court infrastructure, the integrity of judges, the commitment of advocates and the dedication of court staff are crucial for effective delivery of justice.

The newly inaugurated Puttur court complex houses 12 court halls and has been constructed in a modern architectural style. Speakers noted that the complex stands as a symbol of constitutional governance.

Health and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao said the Puttur court building is the largest court complex at a taluk headquarters in the state. He assured that the government would provide all necessary support for basic infrastructure. He also announced that approval has been granted for the construction of a new court building block in Mangaluru at a cost of ₹60 crore, while the tender process is under way for a ₹9-crore court building in Belthangady. Stressing the need for a High Court bench in Mangaluru, he said it would greatly benefit the region.

Lok Sabha MP Brijesh Chowta also urged the establishment of a High Court bench in Mangaluru.

Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai said the government would ensure all basic facilities for the Puttur court complex and demanded that Belthangady taluk be brought under the jurisdiction of the Puttur district court.

High Court Registrar General Bharat Kumar, Deputy Commissioner Darshan H.V., Puttur Advocates’ Association president Jagannath Rai and others were present. Principal District Judge Basavaraj welcomed the gathering.
