SHILLONG: The Shillong High Court will be formally inaugurated by Chief Justice of India, Justice Altamas Kabir in the presence of Union Law Minister, Ashwani Kumar on Monday.
Justice T Meena Kumari was sworn in as the first Chief Justice of the Shillong High Court by Governor RS Mooshahary at Raj Bhavan on Saturday, paving the way for a full-fledged court in the State.
The establishment of a full-fledged High Court in Meghalaya is expected to reduce the growing number of pending cases, besides providing employment opportunities to the youths of the State.
