1981 setting out various directions given by this court from time to time which do not
appear to have been carried out or at least in respect of which no affidavit on behalf of
the respondents has been filed stating that they have been carried out. We would
therefore direct the respondents to file an affidavit in this court on or before February
8, 1982 setting out in detail the steps taken by them with a view to complying with
the directions given by us on various dates from April 27, 1981 up to date. these
directions are embodied in various orders made by us from time to time and the time
has now come when we must have some sort of audit of the action taken by the
respondents in pursuance of the directions given by us have been implemented or not.
The respondents will file an affidavit or affidavits giving detailed answer parawise to
the written submissions of the petitions and particularly with reference to paragraph
17 of the written submissions. Two copies of such affidavits will be supplied to the
petitioners by the evening of February 12, 1982. If the respondents require any
documents for the purpose of preparing their affidavits and such documents are lying
in the custody of this Court, it will be open to the representatives of the respondents to
take inspection of such documents. The writ petition will now come up for hearing on
February 12, 1982 when the Court will consider the written submissions field by the
petitioners as also the affidavit or affidavits field by the respondents and decide
whether the affidavit or affidavits field by the respondents and decide whether the
directions given by the Court in the past have been implemented by the respondents.

detailed report to us in regard to the present position of the girls lodged in the
