Juvenile Justice: Karnataka High Court Asks State To File Financial Proposal For Effective Implementation Of Centre's Vatsalya Scheme For Children

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court on Thursday sought to know from the State government on whether it had sent a reply to the communication issued to it by the Union Ministry of Woman And Child Development, asking the state government to submit a financial proposal and plan for the year 2022-2023, under the Mission Vatsalya Scheme. A Division bench of Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale and Justice Krishna S Dixit on referring to the communication issued on July 5, 2022 by the Ministry, said “It seems that this was a fair opportunity to all states and Union Territories to submit their plans for effective implementation of the said scheme, Mission Vatsalya scheme. and a copy of the said response be placed before the court.” Further it said “if the response is not submitted the state government to submit its response to the communication immediately with the detailed plan not later than one week from today.” Mission Vatsalya Scheme is a roadmap to achieve development and child protection priorities aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. On the previous hearing the bench heard an application filed by the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority, pointing out that though there are relevant provisions in the Act and the Rules to achieve the object of the Act, viz., Juvenile Justice and though time and again various orders being passed by this court, if no timely steps are taken for effective implementation of the provisions of the Act and timely compliance of the orders of this court, the provisions of the Act and the Orders of the Court would remain only on paper, so called a dream.
