Order 1. On behalf of the State of U.P., a consolidated compilation of documents and the status report have been filed in Writ Petition (Crl.) No. 155 of 2013 and connected matters. The same is taken on record. 2. In Writ Petition (Crl.) No. 155 of 2013, the petitioners have filed Crl. Misc. Petition No. 26156 of 2013 praying for certain directions. In the said application based on the news reports, the petitioners have asked not only direction to the respondents/State of U.P. but also for the implementation of our earlier orders. 3. The information which is mentioned in Para 8 is as follows: “8. That recently various electronic news agencies like India TV and IBN Channel have reported between 2-12-2013 to 7-12-2013 in special coverage giving images of people struggling for their lives in cold in the open sky in which more sufferer are the small children who succumbed to death as they could not bear the cold temperature of the season. It has been reported that more than 50 children have died on account of cold as their parents who are riot victims are having no means to protect their children. It is very unfortunate for a country like India that the whole country is unable to save even the small children who are dying on account of no fault of theirs. The death of various children have also been reported in various newspapers.” 4. In WP (Crl.) No. 181 of 2013, the petitioners based on another newspaper's report as well as investigation by themselves furnished various details about deaths in the camps. 5. In both these petitions, it is the grievance of the petitioners that in spite of our earlier directions, the State Government has not fully implemented all the directions in providing necessary help and assistance to the inmates of the camps particularly to the children, the aged persons and all other affected persons. In view of the same, we direct the State Government to ascertain the correct position and file a detailed report on the next date of hearing. 6. In the meanwhile, the State Government is directed to look into the serious averments in Para 8 in Crl. MP No. 26156 of 2013 (which we have extracted above) and take necessary steps and provide required remedial assistance at once.
