&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
National Commission for Protection of Child Rights chief Shantha Sinha Saturday opposed Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath&amp;rsquo;s demand that the 17-year-old involved in the Delhi gangrape be tried as an adult.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sinha is also not in favour of &amp;ldquo;knee-jerk revisions&amp;rdquo; in the age provision in the Juvenile Justice Act that Tirath has hinted at.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Law is not made over one unique case. NCPCR is against any dilution of the 18 year age bar because it has been ratified under the zUN Convention for Rights of a Child. As for this specific case, our view is that the 17-year-old was underage and as such should be treated as a juvenile delinquent and not as a criminal. Cases such as these or the battering of Baby Falak call for ever closer scrutiny of the systems that we have in place for protection and care of children. They cannot be treated in isolation,&amp;rdquo; Sinha said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath&amp;rsquo;s announcement that her ministry would amend the Juvenile Justice Act to make offenders aged 15 years or more charged with heinous crimes liable to be tried as adults has not only been opposed by the NCPCR, whose mandate it is to steer policy in the matter of juvenile delinquents, but also caught her ministry unawares. Senior officials maintain there is no scope for such announcement without consultations. &amp;ldquo;The suggestion only came at the home ministry&amp;rsquo;s conference yesterday. We are yet to apply our minds. No call has been taken,&amp;rdquo; said a senior official.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath&amp;rsquo;s office clarified that she had only responded to &amp;ldquo;suggestions from the media&amp;rdquo; and that nothing had been finalised about possible amendments to the Act.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath reiterated that in crimes like the Delhi gangrape there is a need to make an exception. &amp;ldquo;This is a rarest of rare case and our suggestion is that 15-18 year olds who have committed such crimes be tried as adults,&amp;rdquo; she said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The suggestion will have to be weighed by the committee looking at possible amendments to the Juvenile Justice Act for months now.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The differences between the minister and the NCPCR chief notwithstanding, the 17-year-old involved in the gangrape &amp;mdash; said to be been the most vicious of the lot &amp;mdash; can only be tried under laws in existence at the time of the incident, which means he would be tried under the present Juvenile Justice Act and not any future amended version of it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Raj: Delhi rapists are migrants from Bihar&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
MNS supremo Raj Thackeray Saturday said the Delhi rapists were migrants from Bihar. &amp;ldquo;I extend my full sympathy with the girl who was subjected to such barbaric act. But unfortunately nobody is going into the depth of the issue. There is endless debate but has anybody bothered to question the men who committed the crime. Who committed the crime? They are Biharis,&amp;rdquo; he said at the Konkan global festival here.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
National Commission for Protection of Child Rights chief Shantha Sinha Saturday opposed Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath&amp;rsquo;s demand that the 17-year-old involved in the Delhi gangrape be tried as an adult.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sinha is also not in favour of &amp;ldquo;knee-jerk revisions&amp;rdquo; in the age provision in the Juvenile Justice Act that Tirath has hinted at.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Law is not made over one unique case. NCPCR is against any dilution of the 18 year age bar because it has been ratified under the zUN Convention for Rights of a Child. As for this specific case, our view is that the 17-year-old was underage and as such should be treated as a juvenile delinquent and not as a criminal. Cases such as these or the battering of Baby Falak call for ever closer scrutiny of the systems that we have in place for protection and care of children. They cannot be treated in isolation,&amp;rdquo; Sinha said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath&amp;rsquo;s announcement that her ministry would amend the Juvenile Justice Act to make offenders aged 15 years or more charged with heinous crimes liable to be tried as adults has not only been opposed by the NCPCR, whose mandate it is to steer policy in the matter of juvenile delinquents, but also caught her ministry unawares. Senior officials maintain there is no scope for such announcement without consultations. &amp;ldquo;The suggestion only came at the home ministry&amp;rsquo;s conference yesterday. We are yet to apply our minds. No call has been taken,&amp;rdquo; said a senior official.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath&amp;rsquo;s office clarified that she had only responded to &amp;ldquo;suggestions from the media&amp;rdquo; and that nothing had been finalised about possible amendments to the Act.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath reiterated that in crimes like the Delhi gangrape there is a need to make an exception. &amp;ldquo;This is a rarest of rare case and our suggestion is that 15-18 year olds who have committed such crimes be tried as adults,&amp;rdquo; she said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The suggestion will have to be weighed by the committee looking at possible amendments to the Juvenile Justice Act for months now.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The differences between the minister and the NCPCR chief notwithstanding, the 17-year-old involved in the gangrape &amp;mdash; said to be been the most vicious of the lot &amp;mdash; can only be tried under laws in existence at the time of the incident, which means he would be tried under the present Juvenile Justice Act and not any future amended version of it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Raj: Delhi rapists are migrants from Bihar&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
MNS supremo Raj Thackeray Saturday said the Delhi rapists were migrants from Bihar. &amp;ldquo;I extend my full sympathy with the girl who was subjected to such barbaric act. But unfortunately nobody is going into the depth of the issue. There is endless debate but has anybody bothered to question the men who committed the crime. Who committed the crime? They are Biharis,&amp;rdquo; he said at the Konkan global festival here.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
National Commission for Protection of Child Rights chief Shantha Sinha Saturday opposed Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath&amp;rsquo;s demand that the 17-year-old involved in the Delhi gangrape be tried as an adult.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sinha is also not in favour of &amp;ldquo;knee-jerk revisions&amp;rdquo; in the age provision in the Juvenile Justice Act that Tirath has hinted at.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Law is not made over one unique case. NCPCR is against any dilution of the 18 year age bar because it has been ratified under the zUN Convention for Rights of a Child. As for this specific case, our view is that the 17-year-old was underage and as such should be treated as a juvenile delinquent and not as a criminal. Cases such as these or the battering of Baby Falak call for ever closer scrutiny of the systems that we have in place for protection and care of children. They cannot be treated in isolation,&amp;rdquo; Sinha said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath&amp;rsquo;s announcement that her ministry would amend the Juvenile Justice Act to make offenders aged 15 years or more charged with heinous crimes liable to be tried as adults has not only been opposed by the NCPCR, whose mandate it is to steer policy in the matter of juvenile delinquents, but also caught her ministry unawares. Senior officials maintain there is no scope for such announcement without consultations. &amp;ldquo;The suggestion only came at the home ministry&amp;rsquo;s conference yesterday. We are yet to apply our minds. No call has been taken,&amp;rdquo; said a senior official.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath&amp;rsquo;s office clarified that she had only responded to &amp;ldquo;suggestions from the media&amp;rdquo; and that nothing had been finalised about possible amendments to the Act.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath reiterated that in crimes like the Delhi gangrape there is a need to make an exception. &amp;ldquo;This is a rarest of rare case and our suggestion is that 15-18 year olds who have committed such crimes be tried as adults,&amp;rdquo; she said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The suggestion will have to be weighed by the committee looking at possible amendments to the Juvenile Justice Act for months now.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The differences between the minister and the NCPCR chief notwithstanding, the 17-year-old involved in the gangrape &amp;mdash; said to be been the most vicious of the lot &amp;mdash; can only be tried under laws in existence at the time of the incident, which means he would be tried under the present Juvenile Justice Act and not any future amended version of it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Raj: Delhi rapists are migrants from Bihar&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
MNS supremo Raj Thackeray Saturday said the Delhi rapists were migrants from Bihar. &amp;ldquo;I extend my full sympathy with the girl who was subjected to such barbaric act. But unfortunately nobody is going into the depth of the issue. There is endless debate but has anybody bothered to question the men who committed the crime. Who committed the crime? They are Biharis,&amp;rdquo; he said at the Konkan global festival here.

National Commission for Protection of Child Rights chief Shantha Sinha Saturday opposed Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath&amp;rsquo;s demand that the 17-year-old involved in the Delhi gangrape be tried as an adult.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sinha is also not in favour of &amp;ldquo;knee-jerk revisions&amp;rdquo; in the age provision in the Juvenile Justice Act that Tirath has hinted at.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Law is not made over one unique case. NCPCR is against any dilution of the 18 year age bar because it has been ratified under the zUN Convention for Rights of a Child.

Cases such as these or the battering of Baby Falak call for ever closer scrutiny of the systems that we have in place for protection and care of children.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath&amp;rsquo;s office clarified that she had only responded to &amp;ldquo;suggestions from the media&amp;rdquo; and that nothing had been finalised about possible amendments to the Act.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tirath reiterated that in crimes like the Delhi gangrape there is a need to make an exception. &amp;ldquo;This is a rarest of rare case and our suggestion is that 15-18 year olds who have committed such crimes be tried as adults,&amp;rdquo; she said.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The suggestion will have to be weighed by the committee looking at possible amendments to the Juvenile Justice Act for months now.

The differences between the minister and the NCPCR chief notwithstanding, the 17-year-old involved in the gangrape &amp;mdash; said to be been the most vicious of the lot &amp;mdash; can only be tried under laws in existence at the time of the incident, which means he would be tried under the present Juvenile Justice Act and not any future amended version of it.

Tirath&rsquo;s announcement that her ministry would amend the Juvenile Justice Act to make offenders aged 15 years or more charged with heinous crimes liable to be tried as adults has not only been opposed by the NCPCR, whose mandate it is to steer policy in the matter of juvenile delinquents, but also caught her ministry unawares. Senior officials maintain there is no scope for such announcement without consultations. &ldquo;The suggestion only came at the home ministry&rsquo;s conference yesterday.

<div style="text-align: justify">
Tirath reiterated that in crimes like the Delhi gangrape there is a need to make an exception. &ldquo;This is a rarest of rare case and our suggestion is that 15-18 year olds who have committed such crimes be tried as adults,&rdquo; she said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">

<div style="text-align: justify">
The differences between the minister and the NCPCR chief notwithstanding, the 17-year-old involved in the gangrape &mdash; said to be been the most vicious of the lot &mdash; can only be tried under laws in existence at the time of the incident, which means he would be tried under the present Juvenile Justice Act and not any future amended version of it.

Do not try minor as adult: NCPCR chief
