This report examines how India’s child protection laws interact with disability legislations, highlighting areas where greater focus is required to bring consonance to ensure that the rights of children with disabilities in need of care and protection are upheld. Through a comparative legal analysis of the Juvenile Justice Act 2015 primarily with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016; and the Mental Healthcare Act 2017 and National Trust Act 1999 where relevant; the study identifies inconsistencies, systemic barriers and offers recommendations to strengthen inclusive child protection.
