The much-awaited inauguration of the Regional Judicial
Academy at Race Course in the city is expected to be on the 21st of this
month.
It was earlier said that the building might be inaugurated in mid-2013. But, it was delayed for several reasons.
Construction
of the four-storied building at an estimated Rs. 8.5 crore began in
2011. In a campus sprawling about two acres the total built-up area is
70,000 sq.ft. But the completion of the building was delayed due to
financial constraints and it has been completed over a period of five
years after additional funds were sanctioned.
This will become the first-ever judicial academy outside Chennai and works are on for constructing a similar one at Madurai.
The
academy coming up here will benefit sub-ordinate judiciary officers in
Coimbatore, Tirupur, Erode, Namakkal, Salem, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri
districts. They need not travel all the way to Chennai for training
programmes.
The building has a library, rooms for
training visiting judicial officers and lawyers, conference hall,
auditorium and chambers for the Director and Deputy Directors. It will
be useful for conducting induction training programmes for the officers
entering the sub-ordinate judiciary and those who are about to be
elevated.
Similarly, Public Prosecutors, Special
Public Prosecutors and Government Pleaders will also go through training
programmes on induction.
Sources said that in
addition, the academy would also be useful for conducting mid-career and
in-service refresher training programmes.
