The State of Maharashtra is working on the establishment of a “modern Children’s Court”, and is framing draft guidelines for its functioning, the Bombay High Court was informed by Advocate General AA Kumbhakoni on Tuesday. Allowing the petition, the Court had inter alia directed, “Since the involvement of the State Governments and the Union Territories is critical to child rights and the effective implementation of the JJ Act, it would be appropriate if each High Court and the Juvenile Justice Committee of each High Court continues its proactive role in the welfare of children in their State. To make the involvement and process more meaningful, we request the Chief Justice of every High Court to register proceedings on its own motion for the effective implementation of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 so that road-blocks if any, encountered by state authorities and the Juvenile Justice Committee of the High Court are meaningfully addressed after hearing the concerned governmental authorities.” The High Court had, therefore, initiated the proceedings, and had, earlier last month, emphasized on the importance of consulting various stakeholders for formulating a sensitization programme for the children.
