    Solution

    ‘Doli incapax‘ is a Latin legal maxim that infers the meaning ‘incapability of committing a crime’. This term has been used to describe an assumption of guiltlessness for children in criminal law in most countries. We find this term in the Indian Penal Code, 1860 in Section 82. In a Legal sense, both boys or girls under the age of 7 are held to be infants and cannot be charged for a crime as it is a defect of understanding in regard to what is a crime or what is not a crime. In other words, they are under a natural disability from distinguishing what is good and what is bad and are immune from punishment
