1980 murder case: Allahabad HC finds two convicts were minors, remits matter to Juvenile Justice Board
India's Allahabad High Court ruled that two individuals convicted for a 1980 murder were actually minors at the time of the offense. The court therefore transferred the case to the Juvenile Justice Board for appropriate proceedings, overturning earlier adult sentencing, and highlighted the need for re‑evaluation of past convictions involving minors.
