Which of the following conclusions is/are valid? 1. Only a serious offence as categorised by the revised JJ Act, justifies the transfer of a case to the adult judicial system. 2. The JJ Act, 2021, categorises an offence as a serious offence based on the maximum sentence it carries, rather than on the minimum sentence. Select the answer using the code given below.

Statement 1 is invalid because the passage states that heinous offences (not serious offences) justify the transfer of a case to the adult criminal justice system; in fact, the passage explicitly says the new 'serious offence' category does NOT merit transfer to the adult criminal justice system. Statement 2 is valid because the passage clearly states that the JJ Act, 2021 categorises an offence with no minimum sentence but a maximum sentence of seven years or more as a serious offence — so the categorisation is based on the maximum sentence, not the minimum.
