Under section 94(2) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, what is the order of evidence for age determination when the Board or Committee reasonably doubts whether a person is a child?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The Board or Committee first seeks a school date-of-birth certificate or a matriculation or equivalent certificate from the examination board. If unavailable, it seeks a birth certificate from a corporation, municipality or panchayat. Only if both documentary tiers are unavailable does it order an ossification or other latest medical age determination test.
Option feedback
Option A
Section 94 puts the school or examination-board certificate before the local-authority certificate.
Option B
Medical age determination is used only when the listed documentary categories are unavailable.
Option C
The sequence matches section 94(2), with a later tier used if the earlier evidence is unavailable.
Option D
Aadhaar is outside the stated hierarchy in section 94(2).
