Section 22 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 deals with:

Section 22 provides that, notwithstanding the criminal procedure code or any preventive detention law, "no proceeding shall be instituted and no order shall be passed against any child" under the chapter of that Code on security for keeping the peace and for good behaviour. That chapter (formerly Chapter VIII of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973) is now Chapter IX (ss.125-143) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and the reference is read accordingly under s.8 of the General Clauses Act, 1897. Orders that may not be passed against a child in conflict with law are in s.21, the bar on joint proceedings is in s.23, and removal of disqualification is in s.24.
