Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's order which rejected the criminal revision against the dismissal of an appeal regarding the juvenile status of an accused in a murder case. The court upheld the findings of the lower courts that declared the accused as a juvenile delinquent under the POCSO Act. The judgment emphasizes the importance of adhering to juvenile justice principles in cases involving serious offenses.
