Divan: the Union of India may in certain situation be entitled to invoke the parents patriae jurisdiction. I don't believe it can be done under Article 32 but there may be a suit. Because in Bhopal (Gas Tragedy) for example they did that.

Divan: so there may be situations but I don't believe Union of India can at all file a parents patria in terms directly under Article 32. In any case it has to be by the Union of India and not Enforcement Directorate. Otherwise every division and department will say that I am looking after this interest parens patria and here I am in court ready and willing assist the court. I don't believe that is permissible
