Bangladesh became independent in 1971 and after going through long periods of political turmoil finally became a parliamentary democracy in 1991. Children Act – 1974, which was based on some old laws of Bengal and some elements from Cr.P.C of Pakistan, of which Bangladesh was a part, did not provide a comprehensive code for juvenile justice. According to this Act, a child is defined as a person under the age of 16 years. The provision related to the trial of the juvenile is stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Code of Bangladesh itself.
The Children Act – 1974 stipulates that, on arrest of the child the police is required to inform the parent or guardian of such arrest and also specify the date of appearance in the court for the same. Further, when a juvenile offender is arrested for a non-bailable crime and cannot be presented in the court, the concerned police officer may release him/her on bail. The juvenile offender is to be detained in remand home or a place of safety until brought before court, in case the bail is not possible.
Bangladesh, in view of being one of the earliest signatories of UNCRC, was committed to bring reforms in its Children Act and consequently a new act, Children Act – 2013, has been promulgated which is in line with CRC guidelines. The child is defined as a person up to 18 years old. The Act has provisions for Child Welfare Boards, Child Affairs Police and Probation Officers, Establishment of Children’s Courts and Child Development Centres and Certified Institutes and Legal Representation
The present article shall deploy doctrinal methodology to enlighten the “Juvenile justice system” prevailing in Bangladesh. The study aims to identify the loopholes in the juvenile justice system of Bangladesh and shall suggest suitable amendments required to make the law relating to juvenile justice system effective and efficient.

Surrogacy in normal parlance is a understood as a form of contract where the consideration lies in the delivery of the baby for which the delivering mother is paid. The recent developments in technology has paved way for surrogacy to be used on a commercial basis. This involves payment of hefty sum of money as income to the surrogate for the service offered by her plus any expenses incurred in her pregnancy and surrogacy is thereby looked upon as a business opportunity. It is sort of a business transaction where the consideration is delivery of the baby. This commercial usage was particularly prevalent in the Indian scenario where due to excellent medical infrastructure, high international demand and ready availability of poor surrogates it is reaching industry proportions. this has in recent times paved the way for certain problems. women who choose to become surrogates are often subject to unethical treatment, poor living conditions and they only earn a fraction of what the surrogate companies charge due to their illiteracy. this has led to a popular terming of commercial surrogacy as “baby factories”. Although commercial surrogacy is proposed to be banned as per the surrogacy bill passed in the Lok Sabha in 2019, the prospective effects of the same are not to be forgotten. This research paper focuses on whether as to the such ban on commercial surrogacy would be effective and points out the problems in this regard and the possibility of a regime of regulation of Commercial Surrogacy.
Keywords – Baby factory, Commercial Surrogacy, excellent medical infrastructure, Regulation.
