Provided that the High Court shall not pass an order under this section prejudicial to any person without giving him a reasonable opportunity of being heard.

Key Points:

  • The High Court can call for the records of any case handled by the Juvenile Justice authorities.
  • It reviews the orders to ensure they are lawful and just.
  • The Court may then pass any order it finds appropriate. However, it must give the concerned person a chance to be heard before making any decision that could harm them.

Illustration

Example 1: High Court Reviews a Juvenile Justice Board’s Decision

A child is convicted of a minor offense by the Juvenile Justice Board. The child’s guardian believes the decision is unfair. The guardian can ask the High Court to review the case. After reviewing the records, the High Court may change the Board’s decision if it finds the order unjust.

Example 2: Disagreement with Foster Care Placement

A Juvenile Justice Board decides to place a child in foster care. The child’s biological parents believe this decision is wrong. They can appeal to the High Court for a review. The High Court would assess the legality of the decision and may change it to ensure the child’s best interests are served.

Example 3: Revising a Harmful Decision

If a Children’s Court orders a child to be punished harshly, the child’s guardian can file a revision. The High Court will examine the case and provide an opportunity for the child or guardian to speak. If the High Court finds the decision harmful, it can reverse or modify the order.


Common Questions and Answers on Section 102
