Description
Children are Nation's Wealth. Future of the nation depends on how its children grow and develop. The great poet Milton put it admirably when he said :
"Child shows the man as morning shows the day"
If a child is national asset, it is duty of the State to look after the child with a view to ensuring full development of its personality. The issues relating to child care, child welfare and child development have been attracting the attention of world community. Needless to point out that India's abiding interest of the welfare of children is an expression of country's commitment to the welfare of the children. Commitment embedded in the Preamble and various other Articles of the Constitution. The issue of child care and child development requires attention not only of legislatures, executives and Courts of law but also of the non-Governmental organizations, researchers, academicians and social activities etc. This book is being introduced to evolve ways and means that would adequately cater, protect, maintain the welfare, training, education and rehabilitation of the child. Entire book on this subject has been consolidated under the present need of the general public, busy lawyers and the Bench. Apart from the exhaustive and analyzed commentary on "The Guardians and Wards Act, 1890," an exhaustive and analyzed commentary on the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 has also been incorporated in this book. This book contains various other enactment on the law relating to children. Rules framed by the various High Courts under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 have also been introduced in appendices. So as to meet the ardent need of legal position prevalent in the present system of law, case laws have also been put under the main sections with comprehensive synopsis.
