Abstract
The perception of offence, judicial method, justice and penalty prescribed
in sharia is different from the secular law. The Islamic Criminal law has
approved many crimes with providing deterrent, reformative, retaliative
and other kinds of penalties in order to uphold peace in the society and
reform the criminals. In the Islamic law juvenile shall not be punished with
Qisas and Hadd. This paper aims to examine the Islamic principles of
justice to juvenile offender which explains by the Quran and hadith. This
study tries to discover the exact position of international law towards
juvenile offender. It also investigates the newly enacted legislation in
Bangladesh to protect the juvenile offender from inhuman treatment in the
judicial proceedings.
