Establishment of Juvenile Justice Committee Secretariat

  • Re: Exploitation of Children in Orphanages in the State of Tamil Nadu vs. Union of India and Ors. (05.05.2017), the Court had stated -
               ‘While the Juvenile Justice Committee in each High Court is performing its role in ensuring the implementation of the JJ Act and Model Rules, there is no doubt that each Committee will require a small Secretariat by way of assistance. We request each Juvenile Justice Committee to seriously consider establishing a Secretariat for its assistance and we direct each State Government and Union Territory to render assistance to the Juvenile Justice Committee of each High Court and to cooperate and collaborate with the Juvenile Justice Committee in this regard’
