Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a modification application regarding the composition of a Committee related to the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. The Court rejected the Union of India's request to remove the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Samiti from the panel, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to understanding the issues faced by sex workers. Additionally, the Court modified the third term of reference to align with Article 21 of the Constitution, ensuring it does not imply encouragement of prostitution.
