CJI Kant said that Rohtak is an inspirational place for him as he has love for its people, city and Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU), from where he completed his LLB in 1984, laying the foundation for his distinguished legal career.

The bar members were expecting an announcement from CJI pertaining to shifting the district court complex to the outer skirt of the city due to congestion but no such announcements were made.
