Patiala House Court first to have permanent national flag

The Patiala House District Courts Complex here will fly the national flag permanently from tomorrow.

The 50-feet high tricolour, the first in a trial court across the country, will be unfurled by the Delhi High Court Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal tomorrow, the New Delhi Bar Association (NDBA) said.

"The flag was installed by the Patiala House Courts at the request of the bar and the construction was carried out by the Central Public Works Department of the Government of India," NDBA Secretary Neeraj said.

The flag hoisting ceremony is also scheduled to be attended by Delhi High Court's Justices Manmohan and Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.
