Protecting the Rights of Minors in Legal Matters 

Juvenile justice laws are designed to provide protection to minors involved in criminal cases or legal disputes. In India, juveniles (individuals under 18 years of age) are treated differently from adults in the criminal justice system. The Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 is the cornerstone of India’s juvenile justice system, which seeks to rehabilitate young offenders rather than punish them.

✔ Filing the Case – If the juvenile is charged, the case will be presented before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB), which will determine the appropriate action.
✔ Juvenile Court Hearings – Juvenile cases are heard in a separate juvenile court, focusing on the minor’s welfare and possible rehabilitation.
✔ Bail for Juveniles – In most cases, juveniles can apply for bail, and the Juvenile Justice Board will decide whether to grant it based on factors such as the nature of the offense and the juvenile’s age.
