To swiftly appoint individuals to the vacant positions of Chairperson and Members of the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR), the Delhi High Court requested input from the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) and other involved parties in a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on Tuesday. A deadline was established for this procedure.
The National Child Development Council, an autonomous child welfare organization, submitted the petition. It alleged that the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights Rules’ clause 8(2) was breached due to the absence of a chairperson in the DCPCR since July 2, 2023.
