Relief to convict under Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 for crime committed in 1981 at age 12: Inside Supreme Court Ruling
The Sessions Court having noted that the convict was 16 years old at the time of trial, held that he was entitled to the benefit of the Children Act, 1960 and thus he was directed to be kept in a children’s home in accordance with the provisions of the 1960 Act to give him a chance to reform himself.
