Rule 22 Duty of court to explain manner in which it proposes to deal with case and effect of orderI1

Before finally disposing of the case, the court shall in simple language inform the relevant minor, any person conducting the case on his behalf, and his parent or guardian, if present, of the manner in which it proposes to deal with the case and allow any of those persons so informed to make representations; but the relevant minor shall not be informed as aforesaid if the court considers it undesirable or, having regard to his age and understanding, impracticable so to inform him.

On making any order, the court shall in simple language suitable to his age and understanding explain to the relevant minor the general nature and effect of the order unless it appears to it impracticable so to do having regard to his age and understanding and shall give such an explanation to the relevant minor’s parent or guardian, if present.
