Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of Sagar Behera, who was convicted for multiple offences including murder under Section 302 of the IPC. The appellant contended that he was a juvenile at the time of the offence, supported by a certificate of age. The court considered the plea of juvenility and the procedural delays in the appeal process, ultimately upholding the conviction while addressing the implications of the appellant's age at the time of the crime.
