The Juvenile Board ruled that 6th accused of Delhi Gang Rape case was a minor to the utter dismay of masses. The Police in its charge sheet reported that this 6th accused, ruled minor by the Juvenile Board, was the biggest rascal in the whole ugly episode. The Juvenile Board also declined the demand of the Police for bone test of the accused.
However in America the minors involved in the heinous crimes can be awarded life imprisonment. In Britain also the law is stern for the crimes committed by the minors and punishment is awarded according to their age. In some cases they are treated like adults. However in our country maximum punishment of 3 years can be awarded.
So it is the need of the hour to change the law suitably.
