more-inThe Delhi High Court has directed the Finance Department to fast-track the proposal for construction of a new building at Narela here to house juveniles in conflict with law. A Bench of Justice S. Ravindra Bhat and Justice A.K. Chawla gave the order after it was told by the Delhi government that the issue pertaining to sanction by the Finance Department was pending with the Department concerned. “The Finance Department is directed to deal with the proposal at the earliest, so that further steps towards construction of the facility are undertaken,” the Bench said. ‘Unwholesome practice’The amicus curiae said the “unwholesome practice” tends to expose children facing inquiries — in need of care and protection — to potential bad influences.
