Q1:
With reference to the India Justice Report’s (IJR) study on “Juvenile Justice and Children in Conflict with the Law”, consider the following statements: 1. Over half of all cases before Juvenile Justice Boards (JJBs) in India remained pending as of October 2023. 2. Nearly one-third of all JJBs in the country function without a full bench. 3. All states and Union Territories in India have at least one “place of safety” for children aged 16–18 accused of heinous offences. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 only
B: 2 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct.
The IJR study shows that 55% of the 1,00,904 cases before 362 JJBs were pending as of 31 October 2023. This indicates a high pendency rate and systemic delays in adjudication for children in conflict with the law.
Statement 2 is incorrect.
According to the report, nearly one-fourth of all JJBs in the country function without a full bench (which must include: principal magistrate + 2 social workers, one of whom must be a woman).
Statement 3 is incorrect.
The report highlights that 14 states and the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir lack any “place of safety” — institutions mandated for children aged 16–18 accused of heinous crimes. Thus, such facilities are not present in all states/UTs.
Q2:
With reference to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, consider the following statements: 1. The Act allows juveniles aged 16–18, involved in heinous offences, to be tried as adults after assessment by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB). 2. The 2015 Act completely replaces all previous personal laws on adoption, including the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956. 3. The Act grants statutory status to the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) to streamline adoption procedures. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 only
B: 1 and 3 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct.
The 2015 Act introduced the “judicial waiver system”, permitting juveniles aged 16–18 accused of heinous offences to be tried as adults, subject to an assessment by the Juvenile Justice Board (with psychologists and social workers).
Statement 2 is incorrect.
The Act does not replace personal laws like the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 or the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890.
It provides a universally accessible adoption law, but exists alongside personal laws, not in substitution.
Statement 3 is correct.
To streamline adoption, the Act gives statutory status to CARA, strengthening its powers.
