As per the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, which of the following orders cannot be passed regarding juvenile ?
Answer: C
The order that cannot be passed is to send the juvenile to prison.
Under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, a child in conflict with law is never placed in a police lock-up or jail. Section 18 lists the orders a Juvenile Justice Board can pass on finding that a child committed an offence, among them directing the child to take part in group counselling, ordering community service, and ordering the child or the parent or guardian to pay a fine, as well as probation or a stay of up to three years in a special home.
So the other three are permitted orders, while imprisonment is contrary to the Act's rehabilitative scheme.
