​As of April 16, 2025, there is no publicly available information indicating that the Supreme Court of India has ordered a specific child trafficking case to be tried within six months. However, the Court has recently expressed significant concern over delays in addressing human trafficking, particularly involving children.​

In November 2024, the Supreme Court criticized the Union Government for its failure to establish a dedicated Organised Crime Investigative Agency (OCIA), a commitment made in 2015. The Court emphasized the need for a comprehensive anti-trafficking framework, highlighting the increasing prevalence of cyber-enabled trafficking and the necessity for victim protection and rehabilitation services .​

Additionally, the Court directed the Centre to collaborate with states and union territories to formulate a proposal addressing inter-state trafficking of bonded laborers, including minors. The Court underscored the alarming statistics regarding the lack of immediate financial assistance to rescued bonded laborers and emphasized the need for a unified approach to tackle this issue .​

While these directives underscore the Supreme Court’s commitment to expediting legal processes and enhancing protections for trafficking victims, there is no specific order mandating a child trafficking case to be tried within a six-month timeframe.​
