At Mechu Law Firm, we provide specialized legal assistance in matters involving children in conflict with law and children in need of care and protection, as governed by the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. Juvenile matters require a sensitive, reformative, and child-centric approach, recognizing that the objective of juvenile justice is rehabilitation and social reintegration rather than punishment.
With extensive experience in criminal litigation, Mechu Law Firm represents juveniles and their guardians before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) and other competent authorities. Our services include legal assistance at the time of apprehension, representation during inquiry proceedings, filing bail applications, preparation of social investigation reports, and addressing issues related to age determination and preliminary assessment under the Juvenile Justice Act.
We handle matters involving juveniles accused of various offences, including serious and heinous offences, while ensuring strict compliance with statutory safeguards such as confidentiality, non-stigmatization, and protection of the child’s identity. Our legal team also assists in cases involving children in need of care and protection before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), including matters of abandonment, neglect, abuse, and rehabilitation.
Proceedings under the Juvenile Justice Act are distinct from regular criminal trials and emphasize the best interests of the child. At Mechu Law Firm, we provide clear guidance on procedural requirements, timelines, and available remedies, while ensuring a compassionate and legally sound defense. Our client-focused approach ensures confidentiality, transparency, and dedicated representation throughout the process. If your child is involved in a juvenile matter or requires legal protection, contact us today for responsible and effective legal support.
