KLH’s The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 With West Bengal Rules, 2017 by T.N. Shukla – Edition 2026.

Description:

This is another popular title from Kamal Law House (KLH). The Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act is a critical area of law, especially given the recent amendments regarding serious offenses by minors.

• The Act: Full text of the JJ Act, 2015.
• Rules: The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Model Rules, 2016.
• Amendments: Includes the critical 2021 Amendment, which redefined “serious offenses” and empowered District Magistrates to issue adoption orders.
• Case Laws: T.N. Shukla’s commentaries generally include relevant judgments from the Supreme Court and High Courts regarding bail for juveniles (Section 12) and the preliminary assessment for trying minors as adults (Section 15).

Lawyers and students buy this specific commentary for clarity on Section 15 (Preliminary Assessment). This is the section that determines if a child between 16-18 years who commits a “heinous offense” should be tried as an adult. T.N. Shukla’s notes on the psychological and social reports required for this assessment are often very practical.
