which instead of providing care and protection to children deems them as adult in cases where the alleged commission of crime by them is heinous in nature.<\/p>\n<p>It further said that the amendment goes against the letter and spirit of The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and is against the protection accorded to Child and adolescent criminals since 1800s.<\/p>\n<p>On January 4, the President accorded his assent to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The Act also allows that any 16-18 year olds who commits a less serious offence may be tried as an adult only if he is apprehended after the age of 21 years.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as a child alleged to be in conflict with the law is apprehended by police, such a child shall be placed under the charge of the special juvenile police unit or the designated child welfare police officer who shall produce the child before the Juvenile Justice Board without any loss of time but within a period of 24 hours of apprehending the child.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
