⚖️ Legal Learning – Shri Ganpati Jurists
Case: Hansraj v. State of Uttar Pradesh (Supreme Court)
Key Principle:
The Supreme Court reaffirmed that a claim of juvenility can be raised at any stage — even after the final disposal of the case. Courts are duty-bound to examine such a claim if the accused was a juvenile at the time of the offence.
Held:
If a person’s liberty is curtailed beyond the permissible detention period under the Juvenile Justice Act, it constitutes a violation of Article 21 of the Constitution — the fundamental right to life and personal liberty.
Essence:
🧑⚖️ The protection under juvenile law is not time-barred. Every individual retains the right to have their juvenility determined, ensuring no unlawful deprivation of liberty.
