Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that declared the appellant a juvenile, ruling that the appellant should stand trial as an adult. The court examined the appellant's age at the time of the crime and the conflicting assessments of his age, ultimately relying on medical evidence to determine that he was not a juvenile. The judgment emphasizes the importance of accurate age determination in criminal proceedings involving serious offenses.
