NEW DELHI, JULY. 16. The family courts in the country disposed of 1,54,513 cases in the last three years and keeping in view the quick disposal of cases, it is expected that setting up of more family courts will reduce the burden of pending cases in subordinate courts to some extent. According to an official release, at present there are 96 family courts functioning in the country adjudicating amicably, without the formal help of lawyers, family disputes relating to marriage, maintenance of children and aged parents.However, the parliamentary committee on empowerment of women had suggested increasing the number of family courts, to at least one for each district. Following this, the Centre has addressed the States to take steps to set up family court in each district for which 50 per cent funds will be provided by the Centre, Rs. 10 lakhs for construction of each court room and judge's residence and Rs. 5 lakhs for annual running expenses.
