Similarly, two districts Paithan and Gangapur will have additional district courts while Hingoli became independent judicial district. The Cabinet has also given approval to establish Fishery Science College at Amravati. The number of pending cases should be 500 to start new courts in various places in the State.

Meanwhile Anil Deshmukh, former Home Minister and leader of Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) welcomed the decision of setting up civil court at Katol. “For the convenience of the people of Katol and Narkhed talukas, there was a demand to start a higher level civil court. That demand was approved in principle by the Bombay High Court and the proposal was sent to the Law and Justice Department of the State Government for further approval. But since this proposal was pending with the government for interim approval, I repeatedly followed up and demanded the approval of the government. Finally civil court of Katol got approval on Thursday,” said Deshmukh. Zilla Parishad member Salil Deshmukh also pursued the issue.
