The Supreme Court on Friday said the criminal record of a juvenile could not be an obstacle for getting a government job and other benefits after the person
Maintaining that no stigma should be attached to a person for offences committed as a child, the Supreme Court on Friday said the criminal record of a juvenile could not be an obstacle for getting a government job and other benefits after the person becomes an adult.
A bench of Justices UU Lalit and Vineet Saran said the criminal record of a child must be treated as erased except in special circumstances to allow the person to start life afresh without carrying the burden of his past.
