ORDER : Writ Petition(s)(Civil) No(s).75/2012 1. Two broad issues have been taken up for consideration in this writ petition. 2. The first issue pertains to missing children. In this regard, the Ministry of Women and Child Development along with the Ministry of Home Affairs has launched the programmes called “Operation Smile” and “Operation Muskaan” for tracing out missing children and returning them to their parents. This is naturally an on-going process and is not likely to come to an end at any time soon. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out that there are serious discrepancies in the figures that are made available with regard to missing children. 4. In response, learned Additional Solicitor General says that the figures available with the Ministry are based on the information provided by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner says that a representative of the petitioner is willing to sit with the competent officer of the NCRB to reconcile the figures. Learned Additional Solicitor General says that he will coordinate and arrange for a meeting so that reconciliation can take place to the satisfaction of the petitioner. The needful be done at the earliest. 6. We are told that the Ministry has worked out some Standard Operating Procedure with regard to tracing out missing children. This Standard Operating Procedure is at the stage of finalization. It is submitted by learned Additional Solicitor General that as soon as the Standard Operating Procedure is finalized, but before publication, it will be given to learned counsel for the petitioner for any further suggestions, who may give the comments within two weeks and thereafter the final Standard Operating Procedure will be issued and published on the website of the Ministry of Women and Child Development. 7. In view of the above, we do not propose to proceed any further with regard to the issue of missing children raised in the writ petition. Liberty is, however, given to the petitioner to revive the issue should the need arise. 8. With regard to the second issue in the writ petition regarding implementation of some provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, learned counsel for the petitioner says that he will file written submissions within four weeks. 9. List the matter on 22nd January, 2016. W.P.(Crl.) No. 113/2015 10. Detagged. 11. 8.
