In partnership with Enfold Proactive Health Trust, CivicDataLab with support from The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, has been working to leverage eCourts data for assessing the implementation of key laws, including the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986 (CALPRA). The reports highlight the potential of eCourts data. Report on Decoding data on Implementation of the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 is based on an analysis of 10,800 ongoing and disposed cases available on eCourts from 6 States - Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. It also includes the analysis of 142 judgments from Maharashtra,Tamil Nadu, and Assam, between January 2015 - early 2023. [Also available on JusticeHub] Report titled Trends in Child Marriage is based on the analysis of 174 judgements under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 from Assam, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu between January 2015 and January 2023. [Also available on JusticeHub] This dataset is part of the report – Possibilities of eCourts Data for Advancing Research on Law Implementation. The report examines the potential of eCourts metadata in advancing analyses of specific legislations, describes gaps in data quality that persist, and concludes with suggestions on improvements in eCourts data that can enable effective data analysis to understand the implementation of a legislation and interplay of laws.
