Ques On Arts 23 and 24
Article 24
1. What is the scope of the term 'hazardous' in the expression 'hazardous employment'?
2. Unlike other aspirational Articles in Part-III which seek to prohibit a particular practice or
practices, the text states that such acts shall be punishable by law (See: Article 17, 23). Why
is child labour not been made punishable as a requirement?
3. Since the introduction of Article 21A, children aged between 6 and 14 years of age have an
enforceable right to free and compulsory education. What is the validity of the non-
prohibition of the non-hazardous employment for children under the age of 14 in the light of
this new development? Can Articles 21A and 24 be reconciled in any case? Discuss.
