Hubli, officially known as Hubballi, is a City in the In- dian state of Karnataka. The older Hubballi taluka court func- tioned out of a 132-year old building located near Sai tem- ple. This complex became very congested as the whole cluster housed seventeen court halls which were insufficient. As it was located near the circle, vehicular movement and parking was also an issue. Realizing that the old building could not sustain the increasing rush of clients and staff. A team of judicial members from the Government of Karnataka Committee suggested overcoming the issue with a high-tech taluka level court complex with all facilities. This re- sulted in the new Court Complex at Hubballi which efficient- ly operates as Asia’s Biggest Taluka Court complex. The proj- ect was awarded ICI- Ultra Tech Award, 2018 for Outstanding Concrete Structure of North Karnataka in the Building Cate- gory by the Indian Concrete Institute.
