Under the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, where no authentic document proves an adolescent's age, the dispute is referred to the prescribed medical authority for determination by medical examination. The labour court, inspector and appropriate government are not the designated authority for this. Hence (a).
