Kandpal, Sr. Adv. assisted by Ms. Kamakshi Tripathi, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. K.P. Upadhyaya, Addl. CSC for the State/respondents Dated: July 15, 2011 Coram Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble Servesh Kumar Gupta, J. Barin Ghosh, C.J. (Oral) The Government of Uttarakhand has exercised powers under Section 17 of the Commission for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005 and, accordingly, has framed Rules, paving the way for constitution of a Commission. The notification dated 10.5.2011, to that effect, produced before us, is kept with the records. In such view of the matter, the purpose of the present writ petition is disposed of. In terms of Rule 5 of the Rules, so made, the Government is required to issue a notification for appointment of Chairperson and other members of the Commission. We hope and expect that the State Government will take appropriate steps to have necessary infrastructure for the Commission to function and soon thereafter, would issue a proper notification under Rule 5 of the said Rules. With the observation as above, the writ petition is disposed of. In the event, despite taking the decision to have a Commission in the State, the State Government does not take further steps to factually establish the Commission, by issuing appropriate notification under Rule 5 of the said Rules, it shall be open to the writ petitioner to re-approach this Court. We hope and expect that the State Government will fulfill its desire, as depicted in the notification, referred to above, within a period of nine months from today (Servesh Kumar Gupta, J.)
