Book Supreme Court Tour: The highest judicial forum, Supreme Court, is now open for the general public on Saturdays. The newly instated CJI on Friday had said that the opening of the "public institution" is “experiment, a very limited exposure to the Supreme Court, a public institution that I thought should be opened up in a limited way. They also launched a portal, through which one can book ‘guided tours’ to the Supreme Court. The guided tour “is a great opportunity to gain inside access to the grand interiors of the Supreme Court building and admire the majestic structure in its full glory.”
