Justice Prakash Chandra Tatia is a retired Indian judge, who served as a former Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court and judge of the High Courts of Rajasthan and Delhi.[1]
He currently serves as the Chairman of the Rajasthan Human Rights Commission and advocates for banning live-in relationships in India, arguing that they are tantamount to "social terrorism"[2] and that the status of women abandoned after live-in relationships is worse than that of divorced women.[3] He supports "intense awareness campaigns" to inform women about the risks of live-in relationships.[4] He resigned from the position of Chairman of the Rajasthan Human Rights Commission on 25 November 2019, citing health and family reasons.[5]
