The Bombay High Court has accepted the unconditional apology of a mother, who had sent a WhatsApp message to the judge hearing her appeal related to the custody of her daughter. The court also cautioned the woman "not to indulge in such attempt/activity to reach out directly to any Judge, in future".

Justice Milind Sathaye had earlier issued a show cause notice to the woman and sought an explanation asking why legal action should not be initiated against her for such conduct. The woman then apologised for her actions.
