JUDGMENT : 1. The present petitions are filed by the petitioners who are claiming to be Non-Government Organizations running Balgruhas in various parts of the State. The petitioners are claiming to be Public Charitable Trusts registered "Under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. According to their case, they are running Balgruhas for housing of juveniles-in-conflict with law. The petitioners are relying upon the police of the State Government of issuing grant-in-aid to the institutions run by them. It is claimed that in the past they have been granted grant-in-aid. In most of the petitions, a writ of mandamus is prayed for release of grant up to and inclusive of the year 2015-16. The contention of the petitioners is that unless the grant-in-aid is released, the object of various schemes framed by the Government for giving effect to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, will be frustrated. It is contended that the State Government has adopted a discriminatory approach by releasing the grants to selected institutions. 2. The learned AGP submitted that the State Government has undertaken task of reassessment/re-evaluation of all such Balgruhas which are total 963 in number in the State. The learned AGP submitted that 8 teams have been constituted to do the job of re-assessment/re-evaluation. He submitted that some of the institutions have not submitted documents which were necessary for re-assessment/re-evaluation. Based on a note submitted by the Deputy Commissioner (Child Development), the learned AGP stated that auditors have been appointed by the State Government after following the process of tender. He submitted that considering the magnitude of the task, the process of reassessment/re-evaluation of all such institutions may require time of about 1 year considering the fact that record of each institution will have to be perused and scrutinized. 3. No one can deny that the State Government has a right to make re-assessment/re-evaluation of the institutions which are claiming the grant-in-aid as it is the duty of the State Government to ensure that the grant-in-aid released only to deserving and eligible institutions. 4. Considering the fact that the petitioners are claiming to be running Balgruhas, if they are eligible to receive grant-in-aid, nonpayment of grant-in-aid within a reasonable time may cause prejudice to the juveniles-in-conflict with law. 5. 4. Considering the fact that the petitioners are claiming to be running Balgruhas, if they are eligible to receive grant-in-aid, nonpayment of grant-in-aid within a reasonable time may cause prejudice to the juveniles-in-conflict with law. 5. If re-assessment/re-evaluation of the petitioners or some of them is already completed, it is obvious that the State Government will not wait till the completion of outer limit of one year for the release of the grant-in-aid. 6. It is, therefore, necessary for the State Government to complete the entire process in a time bound schedule. We are therefore dispose of these petitions by passing the following orders: ORDER i.
