Headnote | Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015: ss. 2 (33) and 15 – Commission of offence u/s. 304 IPC – By a juvenile above 16 years and below 18 years of age – Juvenile Justice Board held that the juvenile having committed a heinous offence has to be tried as an adult – High Court held that since no minimum sentence is prescribed for the offence in question, the offence did not fall within the ambit of s. 2(33) and hence was not a heinous offence – Appeal to Supreme Court – Held: An offence which does not provide a minimum sentence of 7 years cannot be treated to be a heinous offence – Meaning of the words ‘heinous offence’ cannot be expanded by removing the word ‘minimum’ from the definition – However, the Act does not deal with the 4th category of offences (viz. Offence where maximum sentence is more than 7 years imprisonment, but no minimum sentence of less than 7 years is provided) – There is a gap in the legislation – The court cannot fill the gap by saying that these offences should be treated as heinous offences – The legislature should take a call in this matter – However, till the Legislature takes the call, the court in exercise of power u/ Art. 142 of the Constitution directs that from the date the Act came into force, all the 4th category offences shall be treated as ‘serious offence’.Interpretation of Statutes: Correction of errors in legislation – Held: If the intention of the legislature is clear from the objects and reasons of the statute, the court can correct errors in the legislation and may write down or omit/delete/add words to serve the purpose of legislation – But when intention of legislature is not clear, the Court cannot add or subtract words from the statute. |
