The court disposed of consolidated writ petitions filed by employees of NGO-run children's homes seeking salary grants from the Maharashtra government. The court held that the State has a constitutional obligation under the Juvenile Justice Act to ensure quality care and education for vulnerable children, requiring well-trained staff, and directed the government to formulate a policy within six months for providing salary grants to compliant NGO institutions, emphasizing that the State cannot escape welfare obligations through voluntary agencies. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
