The Juvenile Justice court that is hearing the sensational case of kidnap and gang-rape of a minor in Jubilee Hills has decided to try four of the five Children in Conflict with Law (CCL) in the case as adults.
With this decision, the JJ court decided to transfer all records of the case to Children’s court in Nampally (Twelfth Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge) for trial of the four CCL as adults. The decision was taken on Friday by the Fifth Chief Metropolitan Magistrate-cum-Principal Magistrate of JJ Board by invoking Section 18 (3) of JJ Act-2015.
After Banjara Hills Assistant Commissioner of Police M. Sudarshan, who is the investigating officer of the case, filed final report in the case, the JJ Board decided to conduct preliminary assessment of the CCL1 to CCL4 as the charges against them were serious and the crime was heinous. The charge against CCL5 was not serious.
