casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: On 22-03-2018, the Supreme Court heard Sampurna Behrua's writ petition concerning child rights issues against the Union of India. The Court disposed of the petition, finding that subsequent orders (including one dated 13-03-2018) had prompted all High Courts to register suo motu petitions on related child rights matters, making further orders unnecessary. The Court directed that High Courts' benches hearing these suo motu petitions may appoint an amicus curiae to assist, with notification to be sent to all High Courts. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
