body2015
ORDER : 1. We have gone through the report of Child Welfare Committee dated 14.12.2015. 2. In terms of the report, the Child Welfare Committee is of the view, and it has passed the order to that effect, that petitioner No.3 ie. Meena Kholkho should be restored to her father. Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the father of Meena Kholkho has since gone back to Jharkhand but learned Additional Solicitor General is not sure about correctness of this statement. 3. That being so, we direct that petitioner No.3 be placed in some other child care institution in Gurgaon today itself in compliance with the order of the Child Welfare Committee and as suggested by learned Additional Solicitor General on instructions from a responsible officer of the Ministry of Women and Child Development. 4. The Ministry of Women and Child Development will ensure that adequate arrangements are made to restore petitioner No.3 to her father at the earliest. 5. As far as petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 are concerned, the Child Welfare Committee may hold a sitting today and take a decision about restoration of petitioner Nos. 1 and 2. A report to that effect may be placed before us tomorrow i.e. on 16.12.2015. 6. The Child Welfare Committee has mentioned that petitioner No.4 has disrupted / interfered with the proceedings of the Child Welfare Committee. We express our displeasure at the conduct of petitioner No.4. He is therefore prohibited from interfering in any manner or participating in the proceedings of the Child Welfare Committee or entering the premises or compound of the Child Welfare Committee. 7. List the matter tomorrow i.e. 16.12.2015 after the normal working of both the courts are over or at 2.00 pm whichever is earlier.
