IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CR.WP/1162/2010 CHANDU @ CHANDRAKANT KARBHARI TRIBHUVAN V/S THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS ... Shri D.S.Manoorkar, Advocate for the petitioner and Shri K.G.Patil, APP for respondent. ... CORAM : P.V.HARDAS & A.V.POTDAR, JJ. Dated : February 10, 2011 PER COURT :- 1. This is a frivolous writ petition filed by the accused contending that his date of birth is 5.10.1987 and consequently he was aged 15 years 11 months and 29 days on the date of the commission of the offence. The petitioner, therefore, contends that he is a minor and the benefit of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act be extended to the petitioner. 2. On notice of this petition being issued to the respondents, the respondents have filed their affidavit-in-reply. Along with the affidavit-in-reply, they have produced the bonafide certificate relating to the petitioner wherein, his date of birth is recorded as 6.3.1982. Similarly, the respondents have placed on record the extract of the School Admission Register, which shows that his date of birth is recorded as 6.3.1982. The petitioner, therefore, has obviously filed the present petition on a false affirmation knowing the affirmation to be false. 3. In the light of the fact that the petitioner was not a minor (juvenile) when the offence is alleged to have been committed, we are not inclined to entertain the present petition. 4. Since, there is no merit in the petition, the petition is dismissed subject to costs of Rs.20,000/- (Rs. Twenty Thousand only/-). (A.V.POTDAR,J.) (P.V.HARDAS,J.) ... akl
