CS Executive · Setting Up of Business, Industrial and Labour Laws · The Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act

An Inspector files a complaint for an offence under the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986. Which statement about the procedure for trying the offence is correct under section 16?

Any person, police officer or Inspector may file the complaint, and the offence must be tried by a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Magistrate of the first class or a higher court, not an inferior one, under section 16.

  1. AOnly a police officer may file a complaint, and any Magistrate may try it
  2. BAny person, police officer or Inspector may file a complaint, and no court inferior to a Metropolitan Magistrate or Magistrate of the first class may try itCorrect
  3. COnly an Inspector may file a complaint, and only a Sessions Court may try it
  4. DA medical age certificate is only persuasive evidence and may be disregarded

Explanation

Section 16(1) lets any person, police officer or Inspector file a complaint. Section 16(3) bars courts inferior to a Metropolitan Magistrate or first class Magistrate from trying offences. Section 16(2) makes a prescribed medical authority's age certificate conclusive evidence, so the last option is wrong.
