In furtherance to its objective the act also brought in several child friendly mechanism of trial as a reformative measure. However, there were also certain loopholes those were present in the Act. With this paper the researchers aims to throw light on such loopholes majorly in relation to the issues relating to the age of consent in India with respect to its implications of this law on adolescents and their sexuality. One of the most troubling developments is the resulting barriers to adolescents’ access to reproductive and sexual health care.
