A Juvenile Delinquent may not be remanded in custody. However, if the circumstances of the case require taking a precautionary measure against him, the Public Prosecution may order that he be placed in a Juvenile Association, provided that the placement period does not exceed one week, unless the Court agrees to extend it for a maximum period of (30) thirty days. Instead of placing the Delinquent Juvenile, it may be ordered that the Delinquent Juvenile be handed over to his Guardian, provided that the Delinquent Juvenile is committed to present at every request.
