Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court, while addressing a public interest litigation under Article 32, declined the request for separate schools and hostels for children of prostitutes, emphasizing that segregation would not serve their best interests. The Court recognized the need for these children to be integrated into society rather than isolated. Instead of issuing direct orders, the Court constituted a Committee to investigate the issue and provide recommendations, acknowledging the increasing prevalence of prostitution and the necessity for effective legislative and social measures.
