UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Extension of time, as prayed for (i.e. till 30th April, 2018), is granted to the applicant – respondent No.1 for making the Creche operational.

In the course of the deliberations that have taken place today i.e. 6th March, 2018, two suggestions have emanated from the learned counsels for the parties. The first is with regard to the necessity of maintaining a regular kitchen and if the same is a necessity the size thereof or whether a pantry would suffice. The second is with regard to providing an alternate entry to the Creche through wicket gate from the side of the Court complex.

Both the issues will be discussed by the learned counsels representing the different stake-holders along with the concerned officials of the Registry of this Court and the decision taken will be laid before the Court within seven days from today.

Insofar as the issue with regard to modalities, such as, age of children to be admitted; fees to be charged, number of employees; qualification of employees, question(s) of health-care/hygiene, food, etc. which would govern the Creche, are concerned, once again the learned counsels appearing for the different stake-holders will sit with the official(s) of the Registry of this Court and together all the stakeholders would try and evolve an acceptable set of modalities that would govern the Creche in the future. The said modalities will be laid before the Court at the end of the Month on a date to be fixed on 15th March, 2018 when this matter will come again for consideration of the suggestions and the consensus that may be arrived at on the issues, as indicated above.

List the matter on 15th March, 2018.
