(i) IDENTIFICATION of all children working in hazardous industries; 4. (ii) IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL from hazardous work; 5. (iii) EDUCATION until age 14 in alternative schools; 6. (iv) Creation of CHILD LABOUR REHABILITATION WELFARE FUND — employer contributes Rs 20,000 per child; 7. (v) GOVERNMENT contributes Rs 5,000 per child; 8. (vi) Alternative employment for adult relative of child. 9. The judgment built on Article 24 of the Constitution (no children below 14 in factories/mines/hazardous employment). 10. Hence option B is correct. _Source: International HR Treaties + Indian Constitutional Jurisprudence — M.C. Mehta v. State of Tamil Nadu (Sivakasi Case), (1996) 6 SCC 756_
