Heard the learned counsel for both the parties. This application has been filed for setting aside the order dated 24.2.2007 passed by Sessions Judge, Ara thereby the prayer of the petitioner to declare the petitioner as juvenile has been rejected. The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that it is incumbent upon the court to decide the matter of juvenile if raised after holding enquiry. However, in this case the court below has rejected the petition of the petitioner without holding enquiry. He neither perused the matriculation certificate of the petitioner nor called for Medical Report. Considered the submission of the learned counsel for both the parties. Perused the impugned order. It appears that the court below has rejected the prayer of the petitioner without making any enquiry as envisaged under section 7 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act. In the facts and circumstances, the order in question is hereby set aside. The matter is remitted back to the court below to decide the matter of juvenile of the petitioner after making N.H./ enquiry under section 7A of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act. The enquiry must be completed within 30 days of receipt of this order. ( Ghanshyam Prasad )
