Abstract
Juvenile justice system is not a new concept. It is a part of a criminal justice system. But unlike the criminal justice, juvenile justice looks to the criminal instead of crime. The word ‘trial’ used in the juvenile justice is also different in implication from that the used in the criminal justice. In the latter case the word ‘trial’ is used in the sense to determine the guilt of a person, which is followed by punishment or acquittal. But in the former case it is used not to fix the punishment following the trial but to provide with their custody, protection and treatment. In the juvenile justice reintegration of the child into the society takes priority over determining the guilt of the child.
