Advocates in Shivamogga, Karnataka, India, are campaigning for a High Court circuit bench to serve the central region of the state. This initiative follows a similar demand from Dakshina Kannada advocates for a bench in Mangaluru, which Shivamogga advocates argue would not adequately serve their needs due to poor transport links.

• 01Shivamogga advocates have formed a committee to advocate for a High Court circuit bench.
• 02The campaign aims to address the needs of the central region of Karnataka.
• 03Advocates are organizing public debates to involve local representatives and organizations.
• 04The push for a circuit bench is in response to a similar demand from Dakshina Kannada advocates.
• 05Shivamogga advocates argue that a Mangaluru bench would not effectively serve their litigants.

The establishment of a High Court circuit bench in Shivamogga would enhance access to justice for local litigants and reduce travel burdens.
