Abstract
In this note, the writer comprehensively and critically analyses the various provisions of the Commissions for the Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005. The note takes a close look at the mandate, the composition, the powers and the functions of the two tier Commission for Protection of Child Rights. The note also vehemently argues for providing more financial autonomy to the Commission. The note then critically examines the innovative idea of a 'Children's Court.' Finally, it questions the efficacy of having the Commission, given the surfeit of commissions which have been entrusted the task of protecting human rights.
