ABSTRACT
This paper tries to examine the practical reality of the Indian juvenile justice system through the lens of natural justice. The study examines the gap between the legal framework and its practical application, based on observations made during a field visit to an Observation home for Juveniles. The aim of our visit was to assess the facilities and living conditions offered to the Juveniles, to interact with them and learn about their individual stories, and to examine the scale and effectiveness of the national rehabilitation initiatives. The study points to serious shortcomings in the overall child protection services, rehabilitation initiatives and infrastructure.
Keywords: Juvenile Justice System, Natural Justice, Rehabilitation Initiatives.
