The Jharkhand High Court, in a recent ruling, has given the state government a 14-day deadline to provide information about a six-year-old girl from Gumla who has been missing since September 2018. The court, led by Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad and Justice Sanjay Prasad, expressed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of the investigation, questioning the Gumla Superintendent of Police about the current status of the case. Despite a special investigation team being formed and efforts made to locate the girl, including circulating her pictures, there has been no success. The court cautioned that if there is no concrete progress, the case may be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Additionally, the court has issued strict orders in another case concerning a missing girl from Bokaro, emphasizing the need for effective action from the government and police.
