IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1608 of 2010 CHUNNU MAHTO @ CHUNNU KUMAR @ PREM KUMAR SARTHI S/O RAJENDER PRASAD. --- PETITIONER. Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. GIRIJA KUMAR S/O RAM NARESH MAHTO --- OPP. PARTIES. For the petitioner : Mr. Sajid Salim Khan, Advocate. For the State : Mr. C.Sen Prasad Singh, APP ----------- 02 13.12.2010 Heard both sides. Petitioner claiming himself to be juvenile in conflict with law is aggrieved by order dated 01.10.2010, passed by learned 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Gaya in Sessions no. 207/2009 (State vs. Nagender Mahto & Ors.) whereby on an application preferred by the petitioner an enquiry in terms of Section 7A of the Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2000 seems to have been initiated wherein petitioner has been directed to disclose the name of the school first attended by him with complete address. The order also indicates that thereafter evidence shall be led by the petitioner, and if necessary, Medical Board shall be constituted. Referring to the provisions of the Act and the Rules framed thereunder, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that trial Court ought not have insisted on disclosing the name of the school first attended by the petitioner. Petitioner had already produced documents/ S.L.Cs in support of the claim and is ready to adduce evidence. I have gone through the impugned order. It appears 2 that an enquiry has already been initiated on the application preferred by the petitioner for ascertainment of his juvenility as provided under Section 7A of the Act. The Court below applied his mind and directed the petitioner to disclose the name of the school first attended by him. The enquiry is yet to be completed. This Court only observes that if the petitioner fails to disclose the name of the school first attended by him, as required of him under the impugned order, the Court below shall proceed with the enquiry based on the documents relied upon by the petitioner and after making appropriate verification and allowing the petitioner to adduce evidence pass order on the application of the petitioner in accordance with law. What kind of enquiry shall be made by the Court based on the documents submitted by the petitioner is left open. This Court only clarifies that trial Court shall not insist on disclosing the name of the school first attended by the petitioner as indicated in the impugned order and shall proceed with the inquiry based on the documents to be produced by the petitioner with respect to the claim of juvenility. The application is disposed of. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
