Abstract: An RTI filed by HAQ: Centre for Child Rights with Jail No.7 in Tihar, brought to light the shocking violations of Child Rights and Juvenile Justice in the Tihar Jail. It was found that within a period of 10 months [October 2010 to August 2011], 114 juveniles or children in conflict with the law, were transferred to observation homes after being first lodged in Tihar Jail. Keeping Children in adult jails is in gross violation of the laws of the country and is a major problem to be tackled in ensuring Children’s Rights in India
