since she has been lodged therein; (iii) that she may be ordered
to be shifted to Seva Mandir at Udaipur where she was lodged

with the parents.
3. As regards the submission No. (ii) and (iii) above, the learned Additional Advocate General Mr. Anand Purohit submits
that appropriate steps shall be taken up for improvement of the
condition of the Nari Niketan at Jodhpur; and the concerned
authorities shall be directed to immediately work on the same.

circumstances of the case, if the daughter of the petitioner is
required to be continued in legal custody, the respondents shall
have no objection in shifting her to Seva Mandir at Udaipur,
where she was lodged earlier.
