#DelhiHighCourt to hear plea filed by Khushi Rainbow Home for Girls & Umeed Aman Ghar for Boys, run by Centres for Equity Studies (CES) of which Activist& Writer Harsh Mander is director.
The plea has sought quashing of inspection report of @NCPCR_

In Oct 2020, the @NCPCR_ raided the children's home and allegedly sought to know whether the children participated in the anti-CAA protests, about foreign funding, and whether shelter was given to Rohingya children at the two places.

As per @NCPCR_ report of 2021, it stated that there were many violations of Juvenile Justice Act and other various irregularities at the two homes. It also stated that there were instances of child sexual abuse at the home for boys.

On July 13, 2022, the #DelhiHighCourt sought the records pertaining to the identities of the Juveniles in question in a sealed cover and directed that the same be kept in the safe custody of the Deputy Registrar concerned.

ASG Chetan Sharma appearing for @NCPCR_
informs the court that no affidavit has been submitted to him as per the previous order of July 13.
The Counsel for Petitioner submits that no reply is to be filed in these proceedings.

Counsel for Petitioners argues that @NCPCR_ didn't inform about the inspection at the shelter homes and seeks quashing of the inspection report.

ASG Sharma argues that it is not a show cause notice, that we'll inform prior inspection. My Lord!

Court notes that the Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners is on his legs in another court. Accordingly, the court lists the matter for March 2, 2023.
