As you know very well that the Child Welfare Committee is also a court for the disposal of the
cases of children below 18 years which is established by the Govt. of India under Sec 29(5) of Juvenile Justice (Care &
Protection of Children) Act 2000, amend 2006. And this is to inform you
that all the members in this committee are said to be a bench of magistrates

Protection in terms of their development, care, treatment and rehabilitation under Sec 31 (2) of JJ Act 2000 r/w 2006.
Whereas, the CWC has received a

Why the legalization affects lives of children & women ?
The newly appointed Chairperson
of the National Commission for Women has proposing the legalization of
prostitution in India to our Supreme Court. The majority of the 3 million girls
and women trapped in prostitution are low-caste, female, poor , and teenagers.
They are the least and most marginalized citizens of our country
and deserve Uplift by regaining control of their destiny as Mahatma
Gandhi would say. Legalizing prostitution would make them
lose control of their destiny by shifting power to their perpetrators-
pimps, recruiters, brothel-keepers, owners, landlords and organized crime
networks that run the sex industry. It would makes legalization of sexual
exploitation and the exploiters may misunderstand that, now onward rapes
also (sex with minor girls below 18 years) will be legal and therefore
they are correct.
Why the NCW proposing to
legalize prostitution in India ?
National Commission
for Women (NCW) Chairperson Smt. Lalita Kumarmangalam’s proposal to legalise prostitution and the comments
thereon have a thing in common, inaccurate understanding of the problem and its
solution. Her medicine is deadlier than the disease, especially when the
civilised world is fighting human trafficking and sexual
exploitation. Naïve supporters of the policy appear to be misled by the magical
term ‘legal’ (like ‘development'). Tomorrow they may also support legalisation
of rape believing that now onwards rapes will be legal and therefore proper.
A person above the age
of 18 years, selling his/her body for sex against money or kind to another person of the
opposite sex (the uncertainty on IPC Section-377 is temporarily over, with the
Supreme court upholding it.) in his/her private premises (a privately-owned
premise is not necessarily private), 200 meters away from a place of religious
worship, a hospital, an educational institution or any place notified by the
government (Sec-7) is not a crime under any Indian laws including The Indian
Penal Code-1860 or The Immoral Traffic Prevention Act- 1956. The Indian law
bans the acts of trafficking, procuring, detaining, pimping, lending a premise
for carrying on prostitution for
running a brothel. Soliciting in public places for prostitution is punishable
(Sec-8) but a woman arrested under Sec-7 or Sec-8 is not to be punished but to
be given a chance of rehabilitation at
the state’s cost (Sec-10). In short, the Indian law aims to punish the
exploiters like madams, pimps, traffickers, customers, and other partners
aiding the exploitative sex trade but not the prostitute woman. By legalising
the trade, would the state decriminalise the offences of trafficking, procuring
and detaining girls and young women, brothel-keeping or pimping? If the offence
of soliciting in public is scrapped from the lawbook, then there will be pimps
and madams approaching young boys and girls right outside the gates of schools
and colleges, luring them with money, expensive electronic gadgets or foreign
tours to join the sex trade. Parents and teachers will helplessly witness this
as they will be arrested for not allowing the pimp to carry out their legal
business. Should this legal position be rejected?
If the government
wishes to serve the victims of prostitution, what stops it from doing what the
small civil society organisations have done best? Aren’t these women the
citizens of this country? Haven’t the High Courts and the Supreme Court from
time to time upheld the prostituted women’s constitutional legal and human
rights? Does the NCW think that to assist a rape victim, the rape must first be
licensed?
The origins of the
women’s emancipation movement is aptly attributed to the struggle of Josephine
Butler against the draconian British law ‘Dangerous Diseases Act 1865’ which
was the main expression of legalisation. It caused public outcry in Britain and
its colonies between 1865 and 1885 when it was finally repealed as it was seen
as an anti-women instrument leading to excessive power abuse by the health
officials and police. An indispensable component of legalisation is compulsory
periodic medical testing (CPMT) justified to curb sexually transmitted
infections. Clinically speaking, initial tests for a person with such an
infection may turn out to be negative, if his infection is fresh. This is
because of the window period. So a person holding a certificate of negativity
could still spread the infection. The CPMT creates a false sense of security in
the client who throws caution to the wind and indulges in unsafe sex. STIs/HIV infections actually increase under legalization.
Under legalisation,
would the state issue licenses to the children (currently > 40% of the
victims), the HIV positive victims (> 50% of the victims), the illegal
migrants and trafficked aliens, mostly the Bangladeshis? If not, where will
they all go if not underground? If the government wants to rehabilitate them,
then who has stopped the government from doing so right away? Everyone in the
country except the police knows
where to find these women. In countries that have legalized the sex trade, two
layers of prostitution have emerged - a very thin slice of registered legal
activities and a huge chunk of illegal activities where women become more
vulnerable and suffer extreme exploitation as they are forced to go
underground.
Men’s confidence in
assaulting any woman goes up when they experience that buying the sexuality of
some women is legally supported and risk-free. All they need to do is create
vulnerabilities and keep the money ready. If in spite of the law, millions are
getting trafficked and over 40 million are currently living the life of sex
slaves, why would the crime go down with liberalisation of the law? It is like
saying no one will fail if the exams are scrapped.
As legalization will
mean keeping many registers, filing returns, paying taxes and greasing 10 more
palms, the sex traders have rejected legalization. Only the pharmaceuticals and
government health babus still demand legalization, even after knowing its
futility in accordance with the opinion of Mr. Praveen Patkar – Prerana.

release the children from home and support to the employer who engaged the
children in work. As per the prescribed
DCPUs are supposed to assist CWCs under JJ Act for coordinating the district

victims/children for their rehabilitations and reintegration services. but they
are not supporting in such way.
Hence, the CWC is pleased to clarify these doubts with regard to

this Act, have the power to deal exclusively with all proceedings under this

In this context, being district level authorities who are
heading various departments in the district, it is required to have minimum
understanding on the competent authorities constituted under various important
Acts by the Government. In case of no idea, it is required to hear from such
authorities and respect its role, powers and functions as per prescribed Act and
if it is not so, then it could be treated as an absolute violation of any such Act.
In this situation, why the CWC can’t take necessary action through exercising

compensation for rescued children from Child Labour
PROCEEDINGS
RC No. CWC/WG/1510/2014 Dated 15th Oct
2014
To,
The
Child Welfare Committee as per Section 29(5) of the Juvenile Justice
(Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2000, amend 2006 is a statutory authority constituted by the
Govt. of AP and functioning as a Bench
of Magistrates with powers of
Judicial Magistrates of the First
class. The Child Welfare Committee
(hereinafter CWC) under the Act is the final
authority to dispose of cases concerning children (not completed 18 years
of age) in need of care and protection in terms of their development, care,
treatment and rehabilitation. The CWC is also empowered to inquire into
offences committed against children.
Whereas the CWC is came to know that, there are 3 children P
Bhaskar, aged 14 years S Dasaradh, aged 13 years and J Mrugaraju, aged 14 years
(as per labour department officials) who are working in your poultry form as
child labours at Teegalavancha Village, Chintalapudi Mandal of West Godavari
Dist have been rescued by labour department on 2nd Aug 2014. The
department officials have produced rescued children before CWC. After examining
the case details, the CWC has issued its proceedings to pay compensation for
those children. It is come to know that, you have paid some amount which is
supposed to pay to the children as wages for their working period. Under Sec. 26 of the Minimum Wages Act,
1948, claims compensation (not only back wages) which must be deposited by
the employer in the name of the rescued minor child with the mother as guardian
and the same invested in National Savings Certificate.
Article 32 of the UNCRC “Each
and every child has the right to be protected from economic exploitation and
from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous, to interfere with the
child`s education, to be harmful to child`s health or to the child`s
development,”
The statements of the child/employer/family of child and social
worker have been received in person and in writing. It is explicitly evident
that the vulnerable status of the child has been abused and exploited and you
(employer) are punishable under Sec. 23
of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000. Further you
are denied the right of those children to education thus violating Sec. 21 A of the Constitution of India.
In this above context, the CWC is hereby issued order to pay a
compensation of Rs 2 lakhs to each child for all the 3 rescued children within
20 days in presence of CWC. It is further instructing to submit the evidential
documents for your payment to parents of said children i.e. photo copies of
bank cheque or Demand Draft to the CWC in person. In case of any of the violation
of these proceedings issued by the CWC you are liable to undergo legal action
under JJ Act, 2000, Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 and
also under Min. Wages Act 1948 for violating the rights of the children.

The
Project Director,
Dist
Women and Child Development Agency,
______________ Dist.
As you know very well that the Child Welfare Committee is also
a court for the disposal of the cases of children below 18 years which is
established by the Govt. of India under
Sec 29(5) of Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act 2000,
amend 2006. And this is to inform you that all the members in this
committee are said to be a bench of magistrates with the powers of First Class Judicial Magistrates. Further, you know very
well that, the committee has been equipped with the powers to facilitate the
children in need of Care and Protection in terms of their development, care,
treatment and rehabilitation under Sec
31 (2) of JJ (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2000 r/w 2006.
The CWC is really very surprised by going through the contents
mentioned in your letter with Ref No Lr.
No. 971/B/ICPS/2014 Dt: 17/09/2014. It is well known fact that, you are
having a good recognition for your commendable services from your past work
places and the CWC is really appreciate your noble work in this regard. Being a
Head of the District, heading such a vital department which is exclusively
meant to render services to the women and children in the district, having
decades of experience by working at various levels, we couldn’t expect such a
letter from you however.
The CWC expects that, any of the Government officials especially
heads of the departments will have a good knowledge on pertinent
Acts/legislations and of any Govt schemes and so on of their working department
though not having hold on entire things of other departments. You might have
had a sound knowledge on JJ Act, 2000
amend 2006 which is exclusively brought in to force by the Govt of INDIA
especially and exclusively for children in need of care and protection
services. Because, you are heading the Dist Women and Child Development
Agency.
CWC is a court by all means under Juvenile Justice (Care &
Protection of Children) Act, 2000 amend 2006. As per the definition of Sec 2(1)
Legal Services Authorities Act and also as per the definition of Sec 3 of
Evidence Act court means a civil, criminal or revenue court and includes any
tribunal or any other authority constituted under any law for the time being in
force to exercise judicial or quasi judicial functions. Hence CWC is a court.
Because once again suggest you to please read in Sec 29(5) Judicial- the powers of a
Metropolitan or “Judicial” First Class Magistrate reveals the intention of the
legislature that CWC shall be a court. We further suggest to please go through
the SOP authorized by Govt of Andhra Pradesh in page no. 8 of chapter 2 and
also page no. 11 in this regard.
Anyhow, while coming to the subject matter, under Sec 29 only the
CWCs have been constituted by the Govt of AP as per the JJ Act, 2000. It is
surprised that, why didn’t you gone through sub section 5 of Sec 29 while going
through the Sec 29 in the said Act. As
per Sec 29(5) The Committee shall function as a Bench of Magistrates
and shall have the powers conferred by
the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974) on a Metropolitan Magistrate
or, as the case may be, a Judicial Magistrate of the first class.
It is further to bring to your
kind notice that, under Sec 54 (1) of JJ Act 2000 amend 2006 it is
clearly mentioned about the Procedure in inquiries, appeals and revision
proceedings.- Save as otherwise expressly provided by this Act, a competent authority
while holding any inquiry under any of the provisions of this Act, shall follow
such procedure as may be prescribed and subject thereto, shall follow, as far
as may be, the procedure laid down in the Code
of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974) for trials in summons cases.
Whereas the Child Welfare Committee is empowered to exercise the
powers conferred under Code of Criminal
Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974) with the Sec 54, 61, 62, 63, 66, 70, 71 and 72
as and when it is applicable in disposal of the cases of children in need of
care and protection. As per Sec 66 of Cr. PC says that, service on Govt Service
may be on the head of the department.
By keeping in view of all the powers conferred under both JJ Act,
2000 amend 2006 as well as under Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974)
the CWC is empowered to issue notice to the head of the departments as and when
it is required while disposing the cases of children in need of care and
protection services followed by the fundamental principle of JJ Act, 2000 amend
2006 which is “In the Best interest of
Children”.
It
is further suggest you that, submit a copy of the relevant Act/legislation/GOs
issued by the Government either state or central cited that, a CWC shall not
having the powers to issue notice to the Project Director, Dist W&CDA.
Because, the CWC has given several citations as above for you to say that it is
empowered to exercise the powers to issue notice to even district level officials.
