Muralidhar and I.S. Mehta JJ., issued directions to the lower courts with respect to the steps which should be taken into care while producing documents before the court which is of a \u2018sensitive nature\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span lang=\"EN-US\">In the instant case, the appellant is seeking the permanent custody of his minor children, and for that he produced the \u2018personal diary\u2019 maintained by one of his child before the Court to show that he desires to stay with his father even after his vacations are over. The Court stated that contents of the document reflect <i>inter alia<\/i> the very private and personal feelings and opinions of a young child about his parents, sibling, friends and relatives, and it is not something which should be casually placed in the public domain to violate the right of privacy of the author of the diary as well as person named in the diary thereto. The Court noted that \u201cwhere litigants themselves do not realize the implications for the right to privacy and dignity of the parties involved in litigation, the Court expects the lawyers handling the litigation to display that understanding of the legal position\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Court issued the following directions to maintain the confidentiality of \u2018sensitive documents\u2019:<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<ul  type=\"disc\">\n<li   ><span lang=\"EN-US\">where a party in a case seeks to      rely upon a document (any writing, private letters, notings, photographs,      and documents in electronic form including video clips, text messages,      chat details, emails, printed copies thereof, CCTV footage etc.) which is      of a sensitive nature and contain details of personal or private nature,      then the party or lawyer of such party shall have to firstly seek leave of      the court to produce such document in a sealed cover, and till the leave      is not granted, the contents of the said document shall not be extracted      in the pleadings or enclosed with the petition. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/li>\n<li   ><span lang=\"EN-US\">where the party\/ Family Court on      its own, comes upon a document on record in the case which is prima facie      of a sensitive nature, which when disclosed is likely to affect the right      to privacy or cause embarrassment, the court will pass appropriate orders      to preserve such document in a sealed cover, de-seal it for being produced      during court proceedings and re-seal it again after the purpose for which      they are directed to be produced is over<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/li>\n<li   ><span lang=\"EN-US\">Family Court can also pass      necessary directions regarding the making of copies, use, preservation and      dissemination of such documents with a view to maintain its      confidentiality.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/li>\n<li   ><span lang=\"EN-US\">Family Court should as far as      possible and practicable invoke the power under Section 11 of the Family      Courts Act 1984 and hold the proceedings in camera.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p ><span lang=\"EN-US\">Lastly, the Court stated that the parties should avoid bringing children to the Family Court on a routine basis, as it would affect healthy development of children. <i>X v.
