At Rai and Associates, we provide specialized legal support in juvenile justice cases, representing both children in conflict with the law and those in need of care and protection. With a strong focus on sensitivity and professionalism, our legal experts ensure that every case is handled in compliance with the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. As an experienced juvenile lawyer team, we aim to protect children’s rights while promoting rehabilitation and fair justice.
The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 defines two key categories:
Children in Conflict with Law (CCL): Minors accused of committing an offence.
Children in Need of Care and Protection (CNCP): Children requiring state intervention due to abuse, neglect, abandonment, or trafficking.
The Act emphasizes reformation over punishment, focusing on rehabilitation, reintegration, and the child’s overall welfare rather than incarceration.
