Noting that different definitions of ‘child’ under various laws leads to ambiguity, the committee called for examining the discrepancies in the criteria for determination of age of child and suggested a relook at the offences as being congnizable or non-cognizable to ensure that these do not lead to any ambiguity as well as delay in justice to the aggrieved children. The Committee noted that the employment of children in contravention of the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 (CALPRA) Act is a cognizable offence, whereas under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, it is a non-cognizable offence. The Committee also proposed setting up of a National Level Child Tracking Mechanism to facilitate coordination among the states and the centre in such a way that the monitoring at district level is reported to states and from there to centre by digital mode through coordinated efforts of all concerned so as to facilitate prevention, tracing, tracking, rescue, rehabilitation and reintegration of the rescued children.
