The complex, he noted, reflects the evolving needs of the judicial system by integrating advanced infrastructure and improved facilities to enhance judicial efficiency.

He acknowledged the contributions of architects, engineers, construction workers, and the local administration in bringing the project to fruition. He also extended gratitude to Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal, the government, and local authorities for their unwavering support in strengthening judicial infrastructure in Kupwara.

In conclusion, he congratulated all those involved in the project and reaffirmed the judiciary’s commitment to ensuring that justice remains accessible, transparent, and fair for all citizens, regardless of location.

Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal highlighted the significance of the occasion, calling it a milestone for both the district and the judicial system. He emphasized that justice is not only built on legal principles but also on the physical infrastructure that supports its administration. The new complex, he noted, stands as a testament to the judiciary’s commitment to accessibility, efficiency, and dignity in the legal process.
