JUVENILE JUSTICE (CARE & PROTECTION OF CHILDREN) ACT, 2015

In the intricate fabric of Indian society, the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) embody communities historically burdened by marginalization and social exclusion. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (POA Act) serves as a formidable bulwark, safeguarding these communities against egregious acts of violence, discrimination, and exploitation.

At Bikram S. Sidhu – GLAS Law Firm, safeguarding the well-being of children stands as a fundamental pillar of our legal practice. The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act) serves as a cornerstone legislation in India, providing vital protection for the rights and interests of children. Our firm deeply comprehends the intricate nuances that can arise when a child is identified as “in need of care and protection” (CNCP) or becomes entangled in “conflict with the law” (JCL). We stand ready to offer steadfast support and expert guidance within the framework established by the JJ Act.

A nuanced comprehension of the JJ Act is imperative when navigating such delicate circumstances. Our team of seasoned legal professionals is wholly committed to furnishing you with lucid and exhaustive elucidations of the Act’s provisions. This encompasses a meticulous delineation of procedures pertaining to both CNCP and JCL cases.

For children deemed CNCP, the JJ Act serves as a beacon of hope. In situations where your child is abandoned, orphaned, subjected to abuse, or finds themselves in vulnerable circumstances, the Act delineates legal pathways for securing their care and protection. We are poised to assist you in engaging with the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), ensuring that all requisite measures are undertaken to secure your child’s entitlement to the support they rightfully merit. Be it facilitating placement in a nurturing and secure environment, facilitating access to educational avenues, or ensuring vital healthcare services, our firm pledges unwavering support throughout the entire journey.

The JJ Act places paramount importance on the rehabilitation of children who have encountered the law. If your child becomes embroiled in a legal dispute, navigating the procedural complexities before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) can be an intimidating endeavor. Our legal experts possess the acumen to steer you through these proceedings, safeguarding your child’s rights at every juncture. We ardently advocate for restorative measures that prioritize rehabilitation over punitive measures, striving for outcomes that pave the way for a brighter future.

Subsequently, our legal team adeptly represents your interests at all hearings, ensuring that your voice resonates and your child’s rights remain unwaveringly safeguarded. Furthermore, we explore alternative avenues such as diversion programs or restorative justice initiatives, prioritizing rehabilitation and reintegration over conventional punitive measures. Lastly, if necessary, we provide guidance through the appellate process should you contest a decision rendered by the CWC or JJB.

At Bikram S. Sidhu – GLAS Law Firm, we firmly believe in securing a safe and auspicious future for every child.
