- 5 years ago
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today agreed to hear on July 31 the plea of Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy for a fresh interpretation of the term 'juvenile' which he raised in the wake of the December 16 gangrape incident here.
Swamy told the apex court that his petition asking to consider the "mental and intellectual maturity" instead of age limit of 18 years for such offenders while fixing their culpability would become infructuous if the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) goes ahead with pronouncement of verdict already scheduled for July 25.
