Supreme Court slams NCPCR for filing Article 32 petition against Jharkhand

The Supreme Court expressed its discontent with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) for filing a plea against the Jharkhand government regarding child welfare issues. The court criticized the commission for overstepping its mandate and not focusing on collaborative solutions. The ruling underscores the importance of constructive engagement among institutions tasked with child protection and emphasizes that the judicial system should not be used as a tool for bureaucratic disputes. This decision aims to realign the focus on child welfare rather than institutional rivalries.
