Child in conflict with law

The term the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 uses for a person under 18 accused of an offence. Such children go before a Juvenile Justice Board, not an ordinary court; those aged 16 to 18 accused of heinous offences may be tried as adults after an assessment. Their identity must never be published.
