Chandrachud, currently on a three-day official visit to Nepal at the invitation of Chief Justice of Nepal Bishwombhar Prasad Shrestha, addressed a National Symposium on Juvenile Justice.

He stated, “When discussing juvenile justice, we must acknowledge the vulnerabilities and unique needs of children caught up in legal conflicts and ensure that our justice systems respond with empathy, rehabilitation, and opportunities for reintegration into society.” “It’s crucial to grasp the multifaceted nature of juvenilejustice and its intersections with various dimensions of society,” he emphasized.

Chandrachud noted that with technology evolving rapidly, juveniles are increasingly involved in cybercrimes such as hacking, cyberbullying, online fraud, and digital harassment.
