Eight years old minor daughter of the informant had gone to nearby shop/market place. She did not return even when the darkness has set in. The mother made frantic searches which revealed that the girl was found sitting on the back of the cycle driven by a young person. On the following day, she was found deserted in a ditch. On retrieval, she was brought to the hospital where she died. The F.I.R. being Pothia P.S. Case No. 262 of 2013 was registered under sections363, 341, 323, 307, 376 and 379 of the Indian Penal Code in which Section 302 IPC was added later on.

occurrence, they have been suspected as the accuseds. All the three petitioners are minor(s).

¶9

The offence is serious in nature. It appears the investigation is still going on. If the petitioners claim juvenility, they are to surrender before the Juvenile Justice Board and if the claim is found true, they shall either be set at liberty and/or sent to the Observation Home/Remand Home which cannot be equated to prison.

¶10

These reasons persuade this Court not to grant the relief to the petitioners and direct the petitioners to surrender and raise the claim of juvenility in the Court below/Juvenile Justice Board concerned.

¶11

The application stands disposed of.
