The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 received the assent of the President on 31st December, 2015 and was enacted to consolidate and amend the law relating to children alleged and found to be in conflict with law and children in need of care and protection by catering to their basic needs through proper care, protection, development, treatment, social re-integration, by adopting a child-friendly approach in the adjudication and disposal of matters in the best interest of children and for their rehabilitation through processes provided, and institutions and bodies established here under. Also in view of re-enacting the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, it was expedient to make comprehensive provisions for children alleged and found to be in conflict with law and children in need of care and protection, taking into consideration the standards prescribed in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice, 1985 (the Beijing Rules), the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (1990), the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Inter country Adoption (1993), and other related international instruments.<\/p>\n

The Act consists of 112 sections in 10 chapters, which particularly entail provisions with respect to the following:<\/p>\n

    \n

  4. Section 19 provides that where a child has committed an heinous offence and there is a need to try him as an adult, the children\u2019s court may do so considering the special needs of the child, the tenets of fair trial and maintaining a child friendly atmosphere. The Children\u2019s Court shall ensure that the child who is found to be in conflict with law is sent to a place of safety till he attains the age of twenty-one years and thereafter, the person shall be transferred to a jail.<\/li>\n
  5. Section 20 provides that a child who has attained the age of twenty-one years and is yet to complete prescribed term of stay in place of safety may, on direction of the Children\u2019s Court, be released for the remainder of the prescribed term of stay or shall complete the remainder of his term in a jail.<\/li>\n
  6. Section 21 provides that no child in conflict with law shall be sentenced to death or for life imprisonment.<\/li>\n
  7. Section 23 provides that there shall be No joint proceedings of child in conflict with law and person not a child.<\/li>\n

  12. Chapter 8 of the act deals with provisions with respect to Eligibility of adoptive parents and the procedure for adoption.<\/li>\n
