Chief Justice of India Justice Suryakant spearheaded transformative judicial initiatives in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday, laying the cornerstone for the ambitious Judicial Academy while inaugurating judge residences and starting a guest house project in Amaravati.
This trio of developments promises elevated standards in judicial training, living, and hospitality. The Rs 165 crore academy will feature 2.05 lakh sq ft of space for 120 trainees, complete with academic, residential, sports, and infrastructural excellence.
The Pitchukalapalem residential enclave, a Rs 210 crore marvel on 33.20 acres, delivers 36 bespoke G+1 homes of 7,841 sq ft each, equipped for professional and personal needs, plus land for future expansion to 49 units.
Adjacent to these, the 6,300 sq ft Judges Guest House (Rs 69.40 crore, G+3 floors) emphasizes eco-friendliness—20% built, 80% landscaped—and seamless access from the High Court, 1.2 km away on wide thoroughfares.
CJI Suryakant engaged with a multimedia showcase of Amaravati’s growth and project timelines post-ceremony. Attendees included CM Chandrababu Naidu, HC CJ Dhiraj Singh Thakur, and Supreme Court luminaries JK Maheshwari, PS Narasimha, Prashant Kumar Mishra, SVN Bhatti, and Joymalya Bagchi.
Kicking off in Tirupati with a district courts complex foundation, CJI articulated the bar-bench synergy: ‘Two hands of one body,’ driving superior arguments that refine judicial scrutiny, elevate decision quality, and fortify rule of law confidence.
