Finally , Juvenile Justice Amendment Act passed
Juveniles aged 16 years and above will now be tried under laws for adults for heinous crimes as Parliament today passed a much-expected bill in this regard against the backof a juvenile convict being released in the gangrape-cum-murder case of December 2012. The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Bill, which provides for lowering the age for trial from 18 years, was passed by Rajya Sabha with a voice vote after a walkout by Left parties which wanted it to be sent to a Select Committee. The bill was passed by Lok Sabha earlier . We congrats Dr Anthony Raju , Advocate and Global Chairman , All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties and Social Justice for the Nation wide campaign for this act.
