It was not clear whether the infrastructural facilities, including furniture and computers, had been supplied and installed on those premises. The authority, therefore, should file an affidavit giving all such details. The details about the persons from whom the premises had been taken on rent and while taking the premises on rent, the provisions of the  TN Juvenile (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2006 and the Rules, 2012, had been complied with, should also be furnished, the bench added and posted the matter after three weeks.The bench was passing further interim orders on the PILs from A Narayanan of Virugambakkam and another.first published:August 31, 2012, 08:24 ISTlast updated:August 31, 2012, 08:24 IST
