Every juvenile involved in legal proceedings either as an accused or a victim is entitled to legal representation funded by the State under provisions requiring ?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. Of State
Explanation
Juveniles involved in legal proceedings are entitled to state-funded legal representation to ensure fairness. The state assumes the responsibility of providing counsel to safeguard the constitutional rights of minors. Access to a state-appointed lawyer prevents vulnerable juveniles from facing unfair legal disadvantages. Juvenile justice laws prioritize rehabilitation and special protections for children in conflict with the law. International human rights conventions mandate free legal aid for juveniles lacking financial resources. State-funded representation ensures that legal proceedings adhere strictly to juvenile protection standards.
This provision ensures that impoverished families are not barred from accessing proper legal defense. Social welfare organizations monitor juvenile courts to verify that state legal aid is effectively provided. Child defendants require specialized guidance to understand complex courtroom procedures and legal rights. Relying solely on the juvenile of his own means would defeat the purpose of protective legislation. NGOs may assist, but the primary statutory obligation for funded representation rests on the state. All of above is incorrect because individual minors and NGOs do not carry the primary mandate.
