Gauhati High Court Forms Committee to Oversee Court Toilet Facilities Implementation

The Gauhati High Court has constituted a committee to oversee the implementation of the Supreme Court’s directions issued in the case of Rajeeb Kalita v. Union of India & Ors. for constructing toilet facilities in court premises, particularly for women, specially-abled, and transgender persons.

The committee includes registrars, chief secretaries, finance and PWD officials from Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh, alongside Bar Association representatives.

The Registrar will act as Secretary, assisted by the Joint Registrar (PM&P), which has to be appointed within 6 weeks.

This initiative aims to ensure compliance with SC guidelines and improve sanitation infrastructure in courts and tribunals across the Northeast Region.
