Child In Conflict With Law Through His ... vs The State Of Karnataka

The Court emphasized that the practice of passing orders without providing reasons is deprecated, as it hampers the right to appeal. The Court upheld the High Court's directive to transfer the case to the Children's Court for trial, affirming the procedural safeguards for juveniles.
