Division Bench also put a specific query to the Police Team as to whether it has verified and recorded the statement of the Headmaster of the School where Mohd Rafiq was studying. Upon this the SHO Naveen Angral informed the Division Bench that Mohd Rafiq had been admitted in a local school of Village Raghura and according to his investigation the minor boy did not go to the said School from the last one and a half year. SHO Angral also informed the Division Bench that the date of birth of the minor is June, 10, 2015 and today the minor complete 16 years. Meanwhile Advocate Deepika Singh Rajawat petitioner-in-person/ Child Rights Activist submitted to the Court that ever since the minor was engaged as domestic help he was never sent to School by CJM Rajouri and studies were discontinued. After considering the submissions of both the sides the Division Bench observed that the child namely Mohd Rafiq is missing from 16/04/2015 and FIR was lodged under Section 363 RPC. The investigation team is unable to trace the said child as per the status report and as per the investigation details furnished before this Court.
