This paper is examined on concepts, theory and method, not on a statute. Where a legal example is used — juvenile justice, marriage law, social legislation — the current Indian provision is cited in the chapter itself, because a general sociology text will often illustrate from another jurisdiction or from repealed law.
The sections below are the ones the LL.B. papers examine on this Act, with the unit that covers each and the cases decided on it. The official text is on India Code ↗.
