Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court reviewed the earlier decision in Gaurav Jain v. Union of India, emphasizing the need for separate educational institutions for children of prostitutes under Article 32 of the Constitution. The Court upheld the directions for addressing the plight of these children but noted dissent regarding the eradication of prostitution, highlighting the lack of adequate discussion and representation of concerned parties. The judgment reinforced the constitutional mandate against human trafficking but refrained from issuing directives on prostitution without proper hearings.
