Court’s notice to Centre to seek direction for 55,000 missing children
Apex Court has issued notice to the Centre as well as to all the state governments on a PIL seeking its direction to them for tracing 55,000 missing children in the country.
“The State police machinery has failed to trace the missing children resulting in total extinction of life of these children. Further there is mutilation or amputation of arms, legs or pulling out of eyes or destruction of any other organ of the body of these children which lead them to spend miserable lives and compel them to engage in begging, flesh trade etc,” Mitra said in his petition.
The petitioner also submitted that, “The State police has failed to investigate the cases of kidnapping and had failed to trace the missing children, which is a total denial of right to life and liberty of these innocent children.
