Mumbai's New Family Court Building Delayed Until 2026

Mumbai's new family court building, which was supposed to be ready by the end of 2024, is now expected to be completed by March 2026.

Lawyers hope to move into the new building by the end of 2026.

The current building has seven courts and around 1,600 pending cases.

The new building will have 17 additional courts, which will help reduce the backlog of cases.

However, the work on the new building has been slow, and internal work is still pending.

The Bar Association is concerned about the inadequate infrastructure and the impact on litigants, especially women and children.

The new building is designed as a green building with eco-friendly materials and will have an auditorium and a children's play area.
