The Maharashtra state cabinet has approved the establishment of a District and Additional Sessions Court, along with a Senior Civil Court in Pimpri-Chinchwad.
This long-pending demand aims to provide legal relief locally, reducing the need for citizens to travel to Pune for court matters.
Officials say this move is part of broader efforts to strengthen civic infrastructure and governance in the rapidly growing urban region.
Pune, 30 July 2025: In a major relief to the people of Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Maharashtra state cabinet has approved the setting up of a District and Additional Sessions Court as well as a Senior Civil Court in the city. The decision marks a significant step forward for the rapidly growing industrial and residential area, which has long demanded its own court infrastructure.
Pimpri-Chinchwad currently falls under the jurisdiction of Pune's courts, forcing residents to travel to the city for various legal proceedings. The new court facilities will allow legal matters to be addressed locally, speeding up justice delivery and easing pressure on Pune's already burdened judiciary.
Government officials said that the move is part of a broader strategy to upgrade administrative and legal infrastructure in the Pune Metropolitan Region, particularly in Pimpri-Chinchwad, which has seen significant population growth and urban expansion in recent years.
Welcoming the decision, a local leader expressed satisfaction and gratitude toward the state cabinet, stating that establishing local courts was essential for a city like Pimpri-Chinchwad, which has developed rapidly and needed independent judicial facilities.
