THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13016 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approached this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings against him in Crime No.779 of 2011 of Banjara Hills Police Station, Hyderabad, whereby he is arrayed as accused for the offence ‘girl missing’. Heard. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is a juvenile. While remanding the accused, the provisions under the Juvenile Act have to be followed by the learned Magistrate. Admittedly, the petitioner-accused is in prison. Considering the same, the petitioner is directed to file a petition before the learned Magistrate, who remanded him to prison and also produced all documents to establish that he is a juvenile. On such filing, the learned Magistrate if he satisfies with the documents produced by the petitioner and after completing enquiry, if he feels that the petitioner is a juvenile, pass orders in accordance with the provisions prescribed under Juvenile Justice Act. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 14th December 2011 Rns
