As contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners prima facie the entire procedure contemplated under Juvenile Justice (Amendment) Act, 2006 is not scrupulously followed. Hence, the revisions be admitted. However, as in all cases, the juveniles are sent to Special Home for Children, where they are admittedly learning some trade and in most of the cases, their parents are not available and they are moving in the streets without any goal and some of them are repeatedly committing offences and as presently they are learning some trade in the homes, it may not be desirable to release them from the homes in their own interest. Post the matters for final hearing on 09.2.2009. Meanwhile, call for a report from the learned V Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate – cum – Principal Magistrate of Juvenile Justice Board, Hyderabad as to whether the procedure followed in committing the juvenile to home is properly followed. Till then there shall not be any enquiries/trials of juveniles in the Court concerned. Directions to send his report immediately.” ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // for ASSISTANT REGISTRAR To 1.
