Question 3 of 10
3. Question
2 pointsWhich of the following are features of the Juvenile Justice Amendment Bill?
1. The bill seeks to transfer all pending matters related to adoption before any court to the district magistrate having jurisdiction over the area.
2. Adoption is a legal process by which a child becomes the lawful child of his adoptive parents and is therefore permanently separated from his biological parents.
Choose the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Under the Act, once prospective adoptive parents living in India or abroad accept a child, an adoption agency files an application in a civil court to obtain the adoption order. The adoption order issued by the court establishes that the child belongs to the adoptive parents. In order to expedite adoption proceedings, the Bill transfers the power to issue adoption orders to the district magistrate.
However empowering district magistrates to issue adoption orders may lead to further delay as they are already burdened with several responsibilities. Further, they may not have the competence to issue adoption orders since they lack judicial training to determine the best interests of the child.Incorrect

Lord Lytton arranged the Delhi Durbar at a time when the larger part of India was in the grip of famine and also passed the Vernacular Press Act which created discontent among the masses.Incorrect

2. It is a solid nitrogen rich material derived from oil refining.
3. Per-unit delivered energy for petcoke is much cheaper compared to coal.
Which of the above statements are true?Correct
Pet coke contains 90% carbon and 3-6% sulphur.

It is a dirtier alternative to coal and emits 11% more greenhouse gases than coal and nearly 17 times more sulphur than coal. However, a favorable tax regime and clean energy cess on coal had prompted industries to rely on pet coke.Incorrect
