Merge proposal

I propose to merge Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 into the history section of this article, since it has been replaced the act covered by this article. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 16:09, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The target location has no section for the 2000 law. This was a bad merger. Reverted. The 2000 article covering the law passed in 2000, is needed for historical perspective. You are free to add a summary of that article to wherever you want--DBig Xrayᗙ 09:59, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Juvenile justice

Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 has been passed by Parliament of India amidst intense controversy, debate and protest on many of its provisions by Child Rights fraternity.[1] It replaced the Indian juvenile delinquency law, Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, and allows for juveniles in conflict with Law in the age group of 16–18, involved in Heinous Offences, to be tried as adults.[2] The Act also sought to create a universally accessible adoption law for India, overtaking the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act (1956) (applicable to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs) and the Guardians and Wards Act (1890) (applicable to Muslims), though not replacing them. The Act came into force from 15 January 2016.[3]
