The Chhattisgarh High Court has held that merely because a person, who is a member of a Child Welfare Committee, participates in an election campaign in favour of a candidate, does not mean that such person has indulged in "misuse of power" conferred under by the Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2015.
While setting aside an order for removal of the Petitioner from the post of Chairperson of Child Welfare Committee for allegedly participating in the campaign of election in favour of BJP candidate, a Single Bench of
Justice Goutam Bhaduri held,
"
even if such allegations are read in terms of sub-section (7) of Section 27 of the Act, it cannot be enveloped to lead an inference that the campaign in favour of certain candidates would be within the ambit of guilty of misuse of power under the Act, 2015."
