The Rajasthan High Court on Monday initiated suo moto proceedings about the structural condition of its Jodhpur building, which was inaugurated in December 2019, reported Bar and Bench.
The building was constructed at a cost of Rs 316 crore , reported The Times of India.
Pointing out that the dome posed a serious threat to those working in the court, the bench said that it was “gravely concerned”.
The latest assessment by IIT Bombay found active reinforcement corrosion, carbonation and chloride contamination in parts of the building.
As an immediate safety measure, the dome has been cordoned off and movement beneath it restricted, Bar and Bench reported.
