Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri J. K. Upadhyay, learned AGA for the State-respondents. Counsel for the petitioners fairly submits that order impugned dated 14. 12. 2019 passed by the Child Welfare Committee is an appealable order and under Section 101 of the of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, appeal lies to Children's Court.
