  • 1. The lack of operational Special Juvenile Police Units (SJPU) and Juvenile Justice Boards (JJB) violates the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.
  • 2. The Supreme Court issued various directions to ensure the proper implementation of the Act.
  • 3. Failure to comply with the directives led the Court to take coercive measures against the delinquent states and Union Territories.
