Rajasthan High Court Orders Child Rights Commission Appointments to Be Completed Within Four Weeks

The Rajasthan High Court on Monday expressed its displeasure over the state’s failure to appoint members to the Child Rights Commission for over two years. The court warned that the delay was unacceptable and could undermine the commission’s mandate to protect children’s rights. The judge instructed the state government to complete the appointment process within four weeks, emphasizing the need for prompt action. The order follows a petition filed by a civil society group that highlighted the commission’s inactivity. The government is expected to submit a list of nominees and complete the selection by the end of the month.
