Adv: In Mathura, the ladies bar room is locked. Same situation is in Ghaziabad. 60 percent of courts should have ladies bar room immediately.

CJI: the young lawyer corpus funds is also important.Image
CJI: the issues raised here touch upon larger questions of inclusiveness and long term sustainability of women lawyers in the legal profession. The petitioners have cited lack of ladies bar rooms and other facilities across High court , district court and other court buildings.
CJI: A young advocate corpus fund has been suggested to be formed with the aim that legal profession remains accessible to all. The petitioners have placed on report results of a survey undertaken by them in a structured format. The survey was circulated among women advocates across courts and information was collected from numerous district and taluka courts. The data reveals that in majority of court complexes, either no ladies bar room exists or facilities given is wholly inadequate and other facilities such as washrooms, nursing facilities, creches etc are not available.

#BREAKING Sheetal Thakur vs Dhiraj Abraham

Supreme Court says Family Courts should ordinarily assess parents first and decide whether psychological evaluation of a child is necessary before directing such evaluation; lays down safeguards against unnecessary psychological assessment of children in custody and visitation disputes.Image
Justice N Kotiswar Singh:

• Family Courts must first appoint a psychologist to assess the psychological condition of both parents, particularly the parent having present custody of the child, before deciding whether any psychological assessment of the child is required.

• No psychological assessment of the child should be conducted if the Family Court, based on the psychologist's report, finds such assessment unnecessary or undesirable.

• If an assessment of the child is required, it must be carried out by an independent child psychologist in consultation with the psychologist already treating the child, with minimum interaction so as not to disturb the child's mental condition.

• Family Courts must remain conscious that a child's psychological needs change with age and may require periodic review and assessment.

• Courts must examine concerns relating to parental alienation syndrome and false memory creation against the other parent, while ensuring the child is not exposed to influences that may foster such tendencies.
Justice N Kotiswar Singh :

• We emphasise our role as parens patriae and held that child custody, visitation and parental access disputes involving growing children are dynamic in nature and constitute a continuing cause of action.

• Parents are at liberty to seek modification of orders before the Family Court from time to time as circumstances evolve.

• Parties must apprise the Family Court of the status of proceedings pending under the POCSO Act against the respondent, as those proceedings may significantly affect decisions concerning visitation and custody rights.
