SINHA & F. M. REIS, JJ. DATED : 30/04/2010 Heard. Pursuant to our order dated 28/4/2010, the District Women & Child Development Officer has filed an affidavit dated 30/4/2010. In para 3 of the said affidavit it is specifically mentioned that the electric supply to the Government Observation Children Home for Boys has already been restored and adequate arrangements are made for the inmates and proper supervision in this regard will be done in future. Similarly in para 7 of the affidavit, specific statement is made that there is no scarcity/shortage of the food stock. The food is provided as per the diet scale and there is sufficient stock of wheat, rice, cereals, etc. as well as other ancillary items including soaps, tooth pastes, etc. In view of the above referred categorical statement made in the affidavit, the problem in respect of the electricity supply to the Government Observation Home has been redressed. Similarly, the statement made in para 7 of 3004caw1298.10.odt 2/2 the affidavit shows that there is no scarcity or shortage of food stock and the food items mentioned herein above are provided as per the diet scale. Hence, the grievance made in this regard also, at this stage, appears to be redressed. So far as the filling of posts and providing adequate security to these Homes is concerned, the Additional Government Pleader has submitted that there are four Care Takers attached to the Government Observation Homes. It is further submitted that though the strength of inmates is 75, however, as on today there are only 26 inmates in the said Home. Similarly, one post of Superintendent, one post of Probation Officer and one post of Sweeper is lying vacant since long. In the circumstances, we want the department of Child and Women Welfare to consider this issue and take a decision to increase the number of Care Taker and fill up the posts of Superintendent, Probation Officer and the Sweeper, within a period of eight weeks. Once the decision is taken in this regard, we want the Department to implement the same without further delay. With these observations and directions, the civil application is disposed of accordingly. Authenticated steno copy of this order be furnished to the parties. JUDGE JUDGE wwl
