KOLKATA: The West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights (WBCPCR) and four of its counter-parts from other states and unuion territories — Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan and Chandigarh — have written to the Centre demanding restoration of cognisability of seven serious offences that were made non-cognisable by the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Amendment Act, 2021.
They have decided to wait for five to six weeks for a reply from the Centre and if they do not receive any communication, they will move to the Supreme Court against it.
