The Supreme Court on 28th March, refused to lower the age of a juvenile from 18, saying the legislature has fixed the age, which is constitutionally permissible.
A three-judge Bench, headed by Chief Justice P. Sathasivam, rejected two petitions, filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and parents of the December 16 gang-rape victim, challenging the constitutional validity of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2000.
