It was apprised to the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court that the accused was held by the police in a fraud case and was produced in the court which referred the matter to the Juvenile Justice Board after learning that he was a juvenile.

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: In a major breakthrough against trans-border smuggling, Punjab Police have arrested a juvenile after recovering 15 kg heroin, and Rs 8.40 lakh drug money from his possession, Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said here on Thursday.
The 17-year-old arrested drug smuggler is a resident of Amritsar. Apart from recovering heroin and drug money, the police have also recovered a motorcycle, on which he was travelling.
The development came about 10 days after the police busted a trans-border drug smuggling cartel with the arrest of a drug smuggler. Five packets of heroin, weighing 5 kg, and Rs 12.15 lakh drug money, were recovered from his possession during a special checking at Thattha village in Lopoke in Amritsar.
DGP Yadav said following inputs, teams of the Counter Intelligence (CI) Amritsar arrested the juvenile, who, along with his accomplice, identified as Resham Singh of Khasa village in Amritsar, was going to deliver the drug consignment after retrieving it from the area of Kakkar village.
Preliminary investigations revealed the consignment of drugs was airdropped by Pakistan-based smugglers using a drone, he said.
Resham Singh, who prima facie seems to be the mastermind of the trans-border narcotics smuggling racket, managed to flee from the spot. Police teams are on a manhunt to nab him, he added.
AIG, CI, Amarjit Singh Bajwa said father and grandfather of the arrested juvenile are already undergoing imprisonment under the NDPS act.

Kathua Rape Accused To Be Tried As ‘Adult’, Not ‘Juvenile’: Supreme Court

[ad_1]
The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that one of the accused in the gang-rape and murder trial of an eight-year-old nomadic girl in Kathua was not a juvenile and can now be prosecuted again as an adult.
The top court further stated that in the absence of statutory proof on the same problem, medical opinions on an accused person’s age cannot be “swept aside”, news agency PTI reported.
“Medical opinion regarding age in absence of any other conclusive evidence should be considered to determine the age range of the accused…Whether medical evidence can be relied upon or not depends on the value of evidence,” a bench of justices Ajay Rastogi and JB Pardiwala said.
It reversed the rulings of the high court and the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Kathua, which had determined that the accused was a minor and needed to be tried separately.
“We set aside the judgments of the CJM Kathua and the high court and hold that the accused was not a juvenile at the time of commission of offence,” Justice Pardiwala said while pronouncing the verdict.
The girl was raped in a Kathua village in 2019. Three men were given life sentences in this case by a special court in June 2019, and three police officers received five-year sentences for evidence destruction. However, the Juvenile Justice Board was given the case against one of the accused.
