BANGALORE: The High Court on Friday issued notices to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and state government in connection with a PIL petition, which had sought more security for city civil and other courts on the lines of that in the High Court.The petitioner, Five-Year Law Course Advocates’ Association president S Umesh, stated that 12,000 advocates and 10,000 clients visit the city civil court every day, which calls for high security. Also, there are many government buildings in the surrounding areas. The petitioner further said besides the HC, there are the Cauvery Bhavan and K R Circle — some of the prime landmarks in the city. The vehicle density in the vicinity of the High Court is 1,000 vehicles per minute, but security measures are inadequate. Also, there should be a dress code to all advocates and daily passes should be issued to the clients, the petition mentions. The petitioner said there are no CCTV cameras installed on court’s premises.
