Section 74 of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act, 2015 prohibits disclosure of identity of children. Hence, Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Shilpa Mittal Vs. State
(NCT of Delhi) and Anr. as reported in (2020) 2 SCC 787, has held as follows:
“ 37. In passing we may note that in the impugned judgment the name of the child in conflict with law, has been disclosed. This is not in accordance with the provisions of Section 74 of the 2015 Act, and various judgments of the courts. We direct the High Court to correct the judgment and remove the name of the child in conflict with law.”
