Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's writ petition concerning the inclusion of minor children in a police history sheet, which was based on the Punjab Police Rules 1934. The Court emphasized the need to protect the dignity and privacy of innocent family members, particularly minors, in accordance with Section 74 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. The amended Standing Order by the Commissioner of Police was noted, which restricts the inclusion of minors in history sheets unless there is evidence of their involvement in aiding offenders.
