Suppose a mine worker asks his son, aged 9 years, to help him in his work instead of going to school. Which Article of the Constitution of India will be violated in this case?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Article 24.
Article 24 prohibits the employment of children below 14 years in factories, mines, or any hazardous work. Since mining is considered hazardous, engaging a child in such work is unconstitutional and punishable under child labor laws. Additionally, Article 21A ensures a child’s right to free and compulsory education.
