P.M.A.KALAM THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 13-9-2006, THE COURT ON 21-2-2007 DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.R. UDAYABHANU, J. W.P.(C).NO.32554 OF 2005 DATED THIS THE 21ST DAY OF FEBRUARY 2007 JUDGMENT Letter of the Chief Judicial Magistrate for a direction to the concerned authorities to provide a necessary police protection to escort the child to the institution to which she was ordered to be taken, was place at the judicial side. It is also grievance of the Chief Judicial Magistrate that the police officers are not executing and returning process in time with respect to the matters under the Juvenile Justice Act. It is submitted that the child Lakshmi lodged at Mahila Mandiram, Muttikulangara, Palakkad has to be sent to Juvenile Home for girls, Hyderabad as per order dated 15-10-2005 and that the child could not be taken for want of providing police escort by the Hemambika Nagar Police, Palakkad. It appears to me that the Chief Judicial Magistrate is sufficiently empowered to see that the police obeys his orders. All the same the Superintendent of Police is hereby directed to look into the matter and do the needful at the earliest. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. K.R.UDAYABHANU, JUDGE ks.
