Abstract

The article examines in detail about the progression from history regarding recognition of children for parental property. It illustrates how major legislations like the Children’s Act, 1992, the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, the Kamaiya Labour Prohibition Act, 2002 and other legislative actions have aimed to protect children. The article also explains child rights granted by the constitution of Nepal and highlights juvenile justice regime of the Himalayan state. It gradually proceeds to examining the historical foundation of the Children’s Act and critically presents its provisions. It also presents inconsistencies in practice and embedded legislations.
