Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to take steps to establish a Bench of the Supreme Court in Chennai, reviving a long-pending demand of Tamil Nadu and other southern States.

In a demi-official (D.O.) letter to the Prime Minister, Vijay said the proposal had first been mooted by the State in 1980, taking into account the difficulties faced by litigants from southern States in travelling to New Delhi to seek justice.

Citing Article 130 of the Constitution, which provides for the Supreme Court to sit in Delhi or at any other place or places as the Chief Justice of India may decide with the approval of the President, he said Chennai would be an appropriate location for a regional Bench that could benefit all southern States.

He pointed out that the proposal had also figured at the conference of Chief Justices in 1979. The Madras High Court, established in 1862, was one of the oldest chartered High Courts in the country, while its Bar had the professional expertise and competence required to support a Supreme Court Bench, he said.

The Chief Minister urged the Prime Minister to take up the matter afresh with the Supreme Court and secure a favourable decision, considering Chennai's importance among the southern States.
