The state government has formed a committee to review the recent amendments to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000.

According to the amendment, a person will be considered to be a juvenile till 18 years.

Earlier, the law protected those till the age of 16.

This would actually mean that a murder accused could be set free if he had committed the act when he was a juvenile. "
