It has 42 court rooms, out of which 21 are assigned for Metropolitan Magistrate courts and 21 are assigned for City Civil and Sessions Courts.
The new building has modern facilities and amenities for lawyers and litigants.
The decor and art inside the complex was planned and curated by Bombay High Court judge, Justice Revati Mohite Dere.
Justices Sharmila Deshmukh and Neela Gokhale were also part of the building committee headed by the ACJ.
The new building spread across 33,500 sq.ft and 17 floors will be the tallest court in Mumbai and possibly Maharashtra.
It would be fully air conditioned with amenities like bar rooms for lawyers, well-stocked and updated library, convenient filing and storage system and provisions for e-filing.
It was informed during the event that from Monday, the original 11 metropolitan magistrate courts which initially used to sit at Mazgaon before moving to Sewree due to the demolition of the earlier Mazgaon court building, will now shift back to Mazgaon.
Additionally, three metropolitan magistrates from Mumbai’s Ballard Estate court will also be shifting to the new building.
