Judges shouldn’t proclaim they are law-makers for exhibition of judicial valor: Jammu & Kashmir High Court

In March 2021, a man reported to a police station that his son, who had gone missing, was found injured on the roadside. The boy was shifted to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

The police, during interrogation of the appellant-juveniles, claimed that they admitted to hitting the deceased with a bat. They were then arrested and remanded to a Juvenile Home.

The appellants first moved a bail application before the concerned Juvenile Justice Board (JJ Board). The Board granted them bail and their custody was given to their paternal relatives.

Subsequently, the father of the deceased filed an appeal before the Court of the Kulgam Principal Sessions Judge, who set aside the order passed by the JJ Board and ordered that the juveniles be taken into custody.
