Over 11.4L cases pending in family courts, must be settled expeditiously: LS MPs

Hindustan Times  

Lok Sabha MPs on Tuesday flagged that over 11.4 lakh cases are pending in family courts across the country and called for their speedy settlement. Bhartruhari Mahtab of the Biju Janata Dal also echoed his views and said the government should say what is it doing to settle the pending cases in the family courts. Two family courts were established in Nagaland in 2008 and three in Himachal Pradesh in 2019 through notifications issued by the respective state governments. The issue of lack of jurisdiction of the family courts in Himachal Pradesh came to the fore during proceedings of the Himachal Pradesh High Court last year.
