Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the determination of juvenile age under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, emphasizing that medical examination and school records are crucial for establishing age. The Court held that the respondent, Vikas Choudhary, was not a juvenile at the time of the offense, as medical reports indicated he was between 22-25 years old. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the order of the Delhi High Court was set aside, affirming the trial court's jurisdiction over the case.
