He is not a trespasser or person having unlawful possession of the property. He behaves like the owner of the property with the consent or conduct of the real owner itself.

This provision has not been mentioned under the JJA, 2000 and keeping in mind, the sad and uncomfortable reality of child abuse, this provision has to be incorporated. Article 40 of the CRC mandates the state to incorporate certain basic guidelines for a child in conflict with law, but the same has not been incorporated in the JJA, 2000. Though CrPc and Constitution of India provide laws for the protection of children but according to JJA, 2000 the laws must be made by the state, thus leaving space for the state to do unjust and exploit the rights of the child. According to Article 40(3)(b) of the Convention, Human Righ...
