For the reasons stated in the application coupled with submissions

made by learned counsel for the applicant/petitioner, the same is allowed

and petitioner is exempted from placing on record the certified copy of the

impugned order dated 27.06.2026. However the applicant/petitioner shall

place on record the same within a period of two weeks.

Application is disposed of.

Crl R No.41/2026 CrlM No.1070/2026

The petitioner has invoked the revisional jurisdiction of this Court

under Section 102 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children)

Act, 2015 [for short ‘the Act of 2015’], challenging the order dated
27.06.2026, whereby the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Srinagar, has

issued various directions to the petitioner-School Authority.

According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, while passing the

impugned order dated 27.06.2026, CWC has not only exceeded its

jurisdiction, but has also completely violated Sections 29, 30 and 33 of the

Act of 2015.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the judgement dated

19.12.2025, passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in case titled

“Oasis Girls School Gogjibagh Vs. Ms. XXX(Minor), in support of his

arguments.

Issue notice to the respondents in the main petition as well as in CrlM

returnable within a period of four weeks. Requisites within one week.

List on 19.08.2026.

Meanwhile, subject to objections from the other side and till next date

of hearing before the Bench, the operation of the impugned order dated

27.06.2026, passed by Child Welfare Committee, Srinagar, shall remain

stayed.
