"Children Will Only Be Repatriated After Following the Provisions of the JJ Act"; SC Gives Direction On Restoration of Children From CCIs To Families

Radhika Roy - LiveLaw

"The Supreme Court [of India] on Tuesday directed for repatriation of children lodged in Children Protection Homes in eight states back to their families to take place as per provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act," says this article from LiveLaw. ""The children must be produced before the Child Welfare Committee to explore further welfare needs. They will not be sent without assessment. It's not an en masse repatriation. The earlier stand was that the children could not be permanently housed in the homes," stated the Solicitor-General, Tushar Mehta.
