DY Chandrachud, the Chief Justice of India, opened the S-Block building, a recently finished courthouse. The Delhi High Court has been working on a plan to increase the number of courts it can accommodate for the past ten years. To that end, it has erected two sizeable new structures, the first of which, known as “C block,” added 15 new courts with related amenities.

The “S block,” the second building, contains a wide range of activities that will support the institution’s future preparation.

Incorporating classical aspects like strong axes in its layout and external columns spanning numerous levels, the building’s architecture, particularly the front, draws inspiration from the design vocabulary of the old New Delhi.
