 Vinod S. Panicker Vs. Sub Inspector of Police


Citation(2012) 272 KLR 207 ;2013 CR LJ 833kerala
IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM
S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J. 
------------------------------- 
Crl.M.C.NO.2181 OF 2012 
----------------------------------- 
Dated this the 5th day of September, 2012 
Head Note:-
Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2000 - Section 26 - Exploitation of juvenile or child employee - A child or juvenile above the age of 14 years at any rate cannot be prevented or restrained from getting employment in any work which is not of a hazardous nature, for remuneration, to eke out his livelihood or that of his family. 
Held:- A mere allegation that a juvenile, aged 17 years, has been employed in a bakery, it does not follow that such employment constituted any threat or hazard to that juvenile. Engaging a juvenile as an employee in a bakery cannot be viewed as one putting him to a hazardous employment. I find, charge imputed against the petitioner for having employed a juvenile, aged 17 years, in his bakery for the offence under Section 26 of the Act will not lie.
