Delhi HC directs DSLSA to produce roadmap for PLVs in police stations

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) to produce a roadmap for implementing its scheme to place Para-Legal Volunteers (PLVs) in 50 police stations to aid people in instances involving missing children and crimes against children and how the Supreme Court’s directions will be taken forward in the matter.
A division bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Anup Jairam Bhambhani was hearing a criminal reference to streamline the functioning of the juvenile justice delivery system under the Juvenile Justice Act and the Rules framed therein.
In September of last year, the Supreme Court had also issued an order directing all State Legal Services Authorities and Legal Services Authorities of Union Territories to develop schemes as soon as possible for the appointment of PLVs in police stations to work on cases.
It had directed the circulation of the DSLSA’s scheme to be used by the states and UTs as a model for framing the schemes.
Appearing for the AAP government, advocate Nandita Rao submitted that they are looking after it actively and that they will file a reply before the next date of hearing.
The court listed the matter for the next hearing on January 31.
“What more is required is to implement the scheme in letter and spirit. Come up with a roadmap,” Justice Mridul told DSLSA Special Secretary Sushant Chngotra.
The court said that it is within the mandate of the Juvenile Justice Act and has to be done on a war footing.

Delhi HC directs Kejriwal govt to set up one-stop centres for women, children

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government to set up ‘One-Stop Centres’ for women and children in every district in compliance with a Supreme Court decision of 2018.
The court’s direction came while a division bench comprising Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad was hearing a plea against media houses for revealing the victim’s identity and accused persons’ name in a rape case of Hyderabad.
The court directed the Delhi government to act under the relevant section(s) of the Indian Penal Code and lay down the criteria as directed by the Supreme Court for identifying social welfare institutions or organisations, to whom the next-of-kin to give the authorisation for declaration of the name.
The court referred to the Supreme Court judgement in Nipun Saxena vs Union of India passed on December 11, 2018.
The bench also noted that the Delhi government has not followed the Supreme Court order to date, wherein the court had requested the state governments and Union Territories to set up at least one one-stop centre in every district within one year of the judgment.
The top court had ruled that the centres should employ well-trained staff, have sufficient medical facilities with counsellors and psychiatrists available on call and video conferencing facility for recording statements of the victims and courtrooms for the trial of such cases in an attempt to make such centres a central police station where all women-and children-related crimes are registered.
The bench said: “The state governments are already in contempt in not adhering to the time limit fixed by the Supreme Court in setting up such centres within one year from the date of the judgment passed on December 11, 2018.”
The high court also said that it does not find it appropriate to initiate proceedings against media houses and reported individuals or to direct investigating authorities to take cognisance of the offence.

“With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of, along with pending applications, if any,” the court said.
