Important Points

The court emphasizes that officials must provide specific, factual, and individualized reports, including photographic evidence, rather than generic cyclostyled affidavits, when reporting on the status and requirements of state-run shelter homes to ensure judicial oversight.

Subject

Civil - Human Rights

Headnote

The court is monitoring the conditions and maintenance of shelter homes, including Nari Niketans, Balika Grahs, and Foster Homes. It was observed that the affidavits submitted by the concerned officials were mere cyclostyled documents and failed to comply with the specific directions issued by the court in its previous order dated 13.05.2026. The primary issue is the failure of the state officials to provide actual, individualized requirements and the current status of the shelter homes. The court reasoned that generic documentation is insufficient for effective monitoring and mandated that officials provide detailed reports accompanied by photographs of the respective facilities. List these matters again on 20.07.2026.

Officers present in person

Order

The affidavits filed by the concerned officials are not in accordance with the directions issued by us vide order dated 13.05.2026. The affidavits placed on record are mere cyclostyled documents where signatures have been put by the concerned officers responsible for maintenance of the Nari Niketan / Balika Grah / Bal Griah and Foster Homes.

The Court must be informed of the actual requirements of the Nari Niketan / Balika Grah / Bal Griah and Foster Home in each individual district by the concerned officers who are present today in Court. The Court must also be apprised of the present status, along with photographs, of the respective Nari Niketan/Balika Grah/Bal Griah and Foster Home falling under the responsibility of concerned officers.

List these matters again on 20.07.2026.
