Correct option is B
Section 83(2) of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2007, pertains to
Juvenile Justice, which refers to the
legal framework for the care, protection, treatment, rehabilitation, and social reintegration of children in conflict with the law and children in need of care and protection. The objective of this section is to
provide a child-friendly approach to the adjudication and disposition of juvenile cases, ensuring their rights and development are protected under the law.
Information Booster: The
Juvenile Justice system in India is governed by the
Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, which was amended over the years, including significant changes in 2000 and 2015. It covers two broad categories:
·
Children in Conflict with the Law (CCL)
·
Children in Need of Care and Protection (CNCP)
The Act ensures that children are
not treated as criminals, but are instead rehabilitated and reintegrated into society.
Additional Knowledge:
·
Juvenile Education (Option a): While education is a right of juveniles, this section doesn't focus specifically on education.
·
Juvenile Rights and Duties (Option c): Rights are a part of the Act, but the specific section is aligned with the broader justice system.
·
Juvenile Jails (Option d): Children are placed in
Observation Homes or Special Homes, not traditional jails. The law avoids using terms like "jail" for juveniles to ensure a rehabilitative approach.
