Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's ruling that the first respondent was a juvenile at the time of the alleged offences. The Court found that the plea of juvenility was based on fabricated documents, thus reinstating the original findings of the Additional Sessions Judge. The Court emphasized the importance of verifying the authenticity of documents in juvenile cases.
