ORDER : 1. We had issued a Rule in W.P.(C)No. 177 of 2013 since the issue involved therein is of great consequence, as far as the citizens, and, in particular, the children between the age groups of 14 to 18 are concerned. The Union of India has already entered appearance in the matter and had earlier been directed to file its response, which has not yet been filed. However, on account of the serious nature of the contents of the writ petition, four weeks' time is granted to the Union of India and the other respondents to file their respective responses to the Rule; rejoinder, thereto, if any, may be filed within two weeks thereafter. 2. Since this is not an adversarial litigation as such, it is hoped that all the parties, including the Union of India, will treat the matter with all seriousness and take positive steps to try and contain the menace. List the matter after six weeks. Let the application for implement, being I.A.No.1 of 2013, be also taken up on the next date.
