Arsene Wenger says Louis Van Gaal treatment unfair

Moving the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Bill for consideration and passage, Women and Child Development Minister said the legislation is “compassionate” and comprehensive in nature. Under the new law, children between the ages of 16 years and 18 years who commit heinous crimes can now be tried as adults.

A police spokesperson said the incident occurred in the afternoon near the Old City’s Jaffa Gate, a popular tourist spot. Most have taken place around the Damascus Gate, the main entrance to the Old City’s Muslim quarter.
Parents of the December 2012 gangrape victim watched the deliberations in Rajya Sabha from the Gallery when Maneka Gandhi piloted the Juvenile Bill.
She claimed that juvenile crime is the fastest rising in India and requested the House to pass the Bill.
The crimes for which juveniles can be trained as adults include rape, murder and terror related acts.
She said different countries have defined different “lakshman rekhas” to define children ranging from 9 in some states in the USA to 12 in France to others where it is 14 or 16.
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said juvenile convicts should not be kept in jail with “hardened criminals” and there should be a separate place for them. “Finally, a criminal will walk free”, Asha Singh said.
While Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi gave an impassioned appeal to the lawmakers to pass the bill, several parties, including the CPM and NCP sought the bill to be sent to a select committee. Deputy Chairman P J Kurien said he had got two notices for referring the bill to a Select Committee but none of the members pressed it.
“If tomorrow, a 15-year 11-month-old commits a crime, will you change the definition again?”
India’s National Crime Records Bureau data shows that 16- to 18-year-olds account for a majority of minors arrested for crimes but activists said the latest amendment violated child rights and would not stem sex crimes. That sentiment of punishing him is there.
With the bill being passed, the amendments would be affected by the union law ministry.
The new law, however, will not apply retrospectively and will not affect the youth who was released on Sunday after spending three years at a correction facility.
Minors who are convicted as adults would stay in a reform home until they turn 21 then complete their sentences in a regular prison.
