Telangana HC pulls up state government over delay in notifying formation of CWCs

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Thursday lamented that the state government has unreasonably delayed notifying the formation of the child welfare committees in all the 33 districts. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy observed: “Why is the Telangana government exhibiting such laxity in implementing orders of the court? The government must be mindful that it is dealing with the causes of children who are the most susceptible section of society and who do not have a voice to raise against the ones forcing them into the prostitution rackets.” The court gave the government two weeks to make all the 33 child welfare committees functional by appointing members and reporting compliance to the court within four weeks. While referring to the guidelines and series of directions issued in the case of Sadhan Haldar Vs. GNCT of Delhi by the Delhi High Court in detecting the missing children and reuniting them with their parents, Chief Justice Hima Kohli asked the state government to use the Automated Facial Recognition System to identify missing children.
