General1978Manipur Act

The Manipur Children Act, 1978

This Act governs the welfare and protection of children in Manipur, applying to boys under sixteen and girls under eighteen. It addresses both neglected children and those who have committed offenses by establishing institutions like children's homes and remand homes. The legislation empowers the state and juvenile courts to appoint probation officers and fit persons to supervise and protect these vulnerable individuals. By doing so, it ensures that children receive proper care, are not exposed to moral danger or criminal associations, and are given opportunities for rehabilitation rather than punishment.
