BHAWANIPATNA, Dec. 29: The legal cell of the Koshal Kranti Dal (KKD) has urged the advocates of the western part of the state to demand for the establishment of a separate state and hence for a separate high court.
Addressing a Press meet, KKD president Mr Pramod Mishra said that the demand for a high court ‘anywhere in western Orissa’ is conceptually confusing and therefore the advocates should instead demand for a separate state.
“With the materialisation of a separate state in the western part of Orissa, a high court will automatically come up there, fulfilling the demand,” he said. Alleging that the state government is avoiding the decision to set up a high court in the western part of the state by not selecting a particular place for its establishment, Mr Mishra said that the formation of a separate state will solve the problem.
KKD general secretary Mr Baidyanath Mishra, legal cell convener Mr Jagannath Mund, district president Mr Gobinda Rath and professor Mr Gopabandhu Behera also spoke on the occasion.
