Sanjeev Kumar vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court held that in light of the precedent set in Bhoop Ram v. State of U.P., (1989) 3 SCC 1, a juvenile who has attained majority cannot be sent to a Special Home. The Court maintained the conviction of the appellant but reduced the sentence to the period already undergone, directing his release if not required in any other case. This decision emphasizes the application of juvenile justice principles in sentencing.
