The Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court disposed of multiple consolidated writ petitions filed by employees of un-aided NGO-run child homes seeking salary grants equivalent to government employees. The court ruled that while NGOs are not obligated to pay government-level salaries, the State has a constitutional duty under Articles 14, 21, and 39(f) of the Constitution and the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 to ensure proper care and services for vulnerable children. The court directed Maharashtra to frame an appropriate policy within six months to provide salary grants to deserving NGOs complying with statutory requirements, emphasizing that children's rights are constitutional obligations that cannot be denied due to budgetary constraints. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
