If a 12-year-old is found to be working in a factory manufacturing carpets, which of the following Articles of the Constitution of India will be violated?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The child found working is aged $12$, which is below the age limit protected by the Constitution.
2. Article 24 of the Constitution states that "No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed to work in any factory, mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment."
3. Article 23 deals with trafficking in human beings and forced labour, while Articles 25 and 26 protect religious freedoms; these are not directly about employment of young children in factories.
4. Therefore the specific provision violated when a $12$-year-old is working in a carpet factory is Article 24.
