A child is dealt with under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and the section 24(1) proviso for the specified child aged sixteen or above found in conflict by the Children’s Court under section 19(1)(i) does not apply. What is the general rule on disqualification attached to conviction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 24(1) normally removes disqualification "attached to a conviction" for a child dealt with under the Act. Its proviso excludes the specified sixteen-or-older child found in conflict by the Children's Court under section 19(1)(i), so the protection has an express exception.
