NewsX: According to the act today, a juvenile would be exempted from prosecution and punishment. The IPC states that any crime committed by a person below the age of 12 is not a crime.
However for acts committed by persons between the age of 12 and 18, there is no such immunity. But if they are found to be guilty, they cannot be treated or sentenced in the same manner as adults.
Juveniles are now dealt by the Juvenile Justice Board and they are also provided with free legal aid.
