The Gauhati High Court is pressuring the Assam government to expedite the notification of the State Child Protection Policy and the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Rules, which are expected by the end of the year. The court has also directed the state to report on the constitution of Juvenile Justice Boards (JJBs) in each district, highlighting concerns about the lack of proper JJBs in several areas. The delay in implementing these crucial policies has been a source of concern, with the court expressing its dissatisfaction with the government’s progress. The petition filed by Bachpan Bachao Andolan, a charitable society, in 2019, brought to light the lack of adequate POCSO court facilities in the state. The court’s intervention underscores the urgency of addressing these issues to ensure the protection and well-being of children in Assam.
