Takes suo motu cognisance of article in The Hindu, makes it part of case records

Chennai (Tamil Nadu):
The Madras High Court on Friday took suo motu cognisance of a news article titled ‘India’s Missing Children’ that appeared in the Sunday Magazine section of The Hindu on August 12 and made it a part of the official records of a batch of cases being heard by the court in connection with missing children.

Passing an interim order in the batch of cases, a Division Bench of Justices M. Sathyanarayanan and N. Seshasayee said: “This court has taken cognisance of the news article ‘India’s Missing Children’ (penned jointly by Divya Gandhi and Julie Merin Varughese) in The Hindu Sunday Magazine.

“As per the said article, 63,407 children went missing in 2016 which translates to an average of 174 children every day and 50% of the children who had gone missing till 2016 remain untraced. The article further reads that the State Crime Records Bureau is led by Additional Director General of Police Seema Agrawal.

“According to Ms. Agrawal, the State of Tamil Nadu was in the process of acquiring Facial Recognition System (FRS) software (now used extensively by the Delhi police) to speed up investigations in child missing cases. The said news article is taken on file and the same forms part of the record.”

During the hearing of the cases, the judges came down heavily on the Police department for not submitting certain details called for by them during the last hearing on August 10.

The judges wanted to know the number of child missing cases under investigation in the State and the progress made in them.

They also sought details of those who had been arrested so far in such cases and whether they were cooperating with the investigation or had absconded after obtaining bail. One more detail that the judges had called for related to the steps being taken by the government to augment Juvenile Justice Fund.
