A writ petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking release of children being detained illegally in Kashmir ever since special provisions of Article 370 were read down and the state was bifurcated into two Union Territories.
The writ petition has been filed by Enakshi Ganguly and Shanta Sinha under Article 32 of the Constitution, which provides the right to constitutional remedies. Ganguly is an eminent child rights expert and Sinha was the first chairperson of the National Commission for Child Rights (NCPCR).
