Observing that the police had, prima facie, violated the rights of children while probing a sedition case registered against a school in Bidar last year, the High Court of Karnataka on Monday directed the State government to issue directions to the police to ensure that they do not violate the provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Model Rules, 2016, while questioning children. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice N.S. Sanjay Gowda also asked the government to explain what action was taken against the police who were in uniform, and some even carrying their firearms, in the presence of children at a school, run by Shaheen Education Society, contrary to Rule 86(5) of the JJ Model Rules.More Related News
