New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought an elaborate report by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court juvenile justice committee on the veracity of the allegations relating to the detention of children by the state police following the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the state into two union territories.
The bench sought a fresh report from the J&K High Court’s JJ committee comprising four judges of the high court as it noted that the earlier report was not entirely in consonance with the spirit of the September 20, 2019 order of the top court.
“As the issues highlighted pertain to alleged detention of children, we direct the juvenile justice committee of the High Court to undertake an exercise with regard to the facts stated in the writ petition and get back to us within a week from today,” said the top court.
