نابالغ ملزم کی ضمانت کے موضوع پر سپریم کورٹ کا رہنما فیصلہ

(1) The main objective of the Juvenile Justice System Act, 2018 (“2018 Act”) is to modify and amend the law relating to the criminal justice system for juveniles, with a special focus on disposing of their cases through diversion and socially reintegrating with the ‘best interest of the child’ principle as a primary consideration

(2) Since both ‘minor offence’ and ‘major offence are treated as bailable under Section 6(3) of the 2018 Act the ground of delay in the conclusion of the trial provided by Section 6(5) of the 2018 Act for grant of bail applies solely to juveniles detained for a ‘heinous offence’.
