The Kerala High Court has suggested lowering the age of juvenile delinquency from 18 to 16, citing the increasing maturity of children.

In a recent hearing, the Kerala High Court raised the issue of lowering the age of juvenile delinquency. The court argued that children are maturing at a faster rate and are increasingly capable of understanding the consequences of their actions. This suggestion comes amidst ongoing debates about the effectiveness of current juvenile justice laws and the need for reforms.
