complainant filed a protest complaint before the Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Perumbavoor. The learned Magistrate took cognizance on the protest complaint for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 326 and 506(ii) read with 34 of the IPC against all the accused including the petitioner and numbered the case as C.C.No.24/2014. Thereafter the case was transferred to the Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Kuruppampady. While the case was pending there, the learned Magistrate entertained doubt as to the age of the petitioner and after due enquiry found that the petitioner was a juvenile on the date of commission of the offence. Therefore, the learned Magistrate split up the case against the petitioner and forwarded the records to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam who in turn forwarded the case of the petitioner to the Juvenile Justice Board, Ernakulam (for short 'the JJ Board'). The JJ Board on receipt of the case records issued summons to the petitioner to appear before it and answer charges under Sections 323, 326 and 506(ii) read with 34 of the IPC. It is at that juncture, the petitioner approached this Court to quash the entire proceedings.
