In October last year, the new combined court complex building in Udhagamandalam (Ooty) was inaugurated, over two decades after the four-acre plot was allotted for the same.
The new complex houses eight court buildings, chambers for lawyers, two rooms for paralegals, rooms for the judges’ drivers, a vulnerable victims’ room, a convention hall, and for some reason, also a plush ‘bedroom’ with a queen-size bed and a chaise longue.
What the new building doesn’t have, however, is a toilet for the 60-odd women lawyers who practice there.
