Badlapur Sexual Assault Case: Bombay HC Raps State For Lack Of Communication To Committee

The Bombay high court on Wednesday reprimanded the government for not failing to give information to the members of the committee set up to look into the guidelines for the safety and security of children in schools following the sexual assault on two minor girls inside school premises by a cleaning staff in Badlapur in August.

“Till date none of the members have received any information from the State government. It reflects on your bona fide. You tell us one thing, your action speaks otherwise. Committee is not meant to be on paper,” the bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Prithviraj Chavan said.

The court noted that the committee was formed on August 23 and assurance was given, however, till date no communication is given by the State. It has asked state advocate to take instructions and inform them on October 1.
