2017 (2) TMI 1509 - HC - Companies LawEstablishment of NCLT Bench in the State of Kerala - Seeking direction to continue hearing of Company Cases having jurisdiction in State of Kerala by the Hon'ble High Court till NCLT Bench is established at Ernakulam for hearing of Company Cases - seeking direction to the 1st respondent to establish NCLT Bench at Ernakulam on a time bound basis in the interest of justice - HELD THAT:- While the Benches at New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai have been notified, those at the seats of other High Courts will be established in due course - Since such a decision is taken by the Government of India, proposing to establish NCLT Benches at the places wherein other High Courts are situated, in due course, he submits that necessary direction need to be issued to the Government of India. He further relies upon Annexure R1(a) dated 19.12.2016 produced along with the statement filed by the 1st respondent, Union of India and submits that in the next phase, after making the requisite infrastructure available and appointment of Members, it has been planned to constitute a Bench of NCLT at Kochi. If Government of India has proposed and planned to constitute Bench of NCLT at Kochi, and the authorities have found the infrastructure at Kochi suitable, hopefully the same will be established at an early date so as to mitigate the problem faced by the litigants in company matters - it is for the authorities concerned to verify the infrastructure and to take a decision in the matter. Since the matter is being considered by Government of India, as is clear from the records produced along with the writ petition, hopefully the grievance of the Kerala High Court Advocates' Association will be met at an early date. Petition disposed off.
