Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Sunday said that the law must never appear remote, forbidding or out of reach while laying emphasis on integrated court complexes with adequate space for young lawyers.

The CJI made the remarks in Guwahati while laying the foundation stone of an integrated judicial complex where the Gauhati high court will be relocated. Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, several judges of the apex court, chief justices of the high courts of Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura, and Union minister for law and justice Arjun Ram Meghwal were present.

"The foundation stone laying ceremony represents far more than commencement of a project. It is the reaffirmation of the constitutional guarantee that the law must never appear remote, forbidding or out of reach," CJI Kant said.

Besides Assam, the Gauhati HC caters to Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram as well.
