State Of Haryana vs Jaswinder Singh @ Sindu

The Supreme Court directed that the respondent-accused's age be determined by a Medical Board under the Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2000, due to conflicting views from lower courts regarding his juvenile status at the time of the offense. The Court emphasized the importance of accurately establishing the age of the accused for the proper application of juvenile law. The appeals were disposed of with instructions for the Medical Board's report to be submitted to the Trial Judge within three months.
