ORDER : 1. Leave granted. 2. We have gone through the report submitted by the Juvenile Justice Board["JJB", for short], Faizabad/Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, after conducting a detailed enquiry as to the age of the appellant, X (identity has been suppressed), and opining that, as per the records, he was born on 05.07.1995. Accordingly, he would have been less than 18 years of age on the date of the occurrence/commission of offence, i.e., 29.01.2013. 3. We may note that the counsel for the State of Uttar Pradesh does not contest the report given by the JJB. We have also examined the said report and the reasons given therein and do not find any good ground and reason to take a different view. 4. The appellant, X, is accordingly directed to be treated as a juvenile on the date of the occurrence/commission of offence. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant states that the appellant, X, is not pressing the appeal on merits in the light of his claim of juvenility being accepted and, accordingly, his conviction for the offence(s) punishable under Sections 376 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 may be confirmed. 6. As we have accepted the report given by the JJB, we accept the prayer made by the learned counsel for the appellant. Accordingly, the conviction of the appellant, X, is upheld but the sentence imposed on him, treating him as an adult as on the date of the occurrence/commission of the offence, is treated as cancelled/waived. The appellant, X, is directed to be released in accordance with law, if not warranted to be detained in any other matter. 7. The appeals are allowed and disposed of in the above terms. 8. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
