Litigants were affected as members of the Bar Association in Vaniyambadi town near Tirupattur have been boycotting the court proceedings of all three courts - Judicial Magistrate Court, Subordinate Court and District Munisf Court - since Friday, demanding a permanent Combined Court Complex in the town.
The three courts are located in different spots in the town. Each court, on an average, is located at least 1.5-kms away from the other court. It has resulted in hardship for litigants, advocates and court staff to commute from one court to another. “On many occasions, litigants, who have cases in two courts, miss their opportunity to present themselves due to the distance between courts,” said D. Sampath, president, Bar Association (Vaniyambadi).
