CRR No. 3363 of 2010 **** Jassu alias Jaspal vs. State of Haryana Present: Mr. Nonish Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. **** This petition has been filed against an order declining the claim of the petitioner that he is a juvenile. Learned trial Court has relied upon the birth entry where the name of the petitioner as well as his parents has been mentioned as per which the petitioner was not a minor. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that as per the matriculation certificate of the petitioner he was a minor. With regard to the birth entry learned counsel states that that entry was of the elder brother of the petitioner who died within a year of the marriage but whose death unfortunately was not reported. When I put it to the learned counsel whether the birth entry of the petitioner was there on record, he accepted the fact that there was no birth entry in regard to his birth. Consequently the impugned order cannot be said to be either patently perverse or even arguably arbitrary. In the circumstances the petition is dismissed. Since I have decided the main case on merits, no order needs to be passed on the application for condonation of delay. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE January 25 , 2011 sunita
