Writ petition seeking improvement of the Supreme Court’s day-care facilities for children

A writ petition was filed by Anandita Pujari, pointing out various deficiencies at the existing day-care facility at the Supreme Court. These included the need to make the facility free, improve ventilation, creation of an open area for children to play in, and the inclusion of children of lady clerks of advocates. The improvements are requested on the basis of the need to ensure that women fully enjoy their right to practice the profession of law.  Children of women lawyers and Supreme Court staff are already eligible for admission to the crèche.
