Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision that deemed the first respondent a juvenile at the time of the alleged offences. The court found that the evidence supporting the juvenility claim was fabricated, thereby reinstating the original findings of the Sessions Judge. The court emphasized the importance of credible documentation in determining the age of the accused in criminal cases involving serious charges.
