The issue of juvenile age came up for discussion after the

Juvenile Justice Board ruled that the sixth accused in the brutal gang rape of a 23-year-old medical student on a moving bus on the night of December 16 last is a minor. Police said he was the most brutal in committing the crime. This declaration came on the basis of the school certificates of the accused. The school certificate mentions June 4, 1995 as the accused's date of birth. The sixth accused will now not face trial before a special court. Under Juvenile Justice Act, the maximum punishment is three years. During its February 21 meeting, almost all members agreed with the provision in the recently promulgated ordinance which provides for handing down death sentence to the convict if the rape victim either dies or is left in a "persistent vegetative state". The government went beyond the Verma Committee's recommendation by providing for capital punishment in the cases where rape leads to death of the victim or leaves her in "persistent vegetative state". In the meeting, three members - D Raja (CPI), Kanimozhi (DMK) and E T Mohammed Bashir (Muslim League Kerala State Committee) - said they were opposed to the overall concept of capital punishment in the country. They, however, supported the concept of life imprisonment in which a convict has to spend the entire natural life in jail. Sources said most of the members of the committee agreed that a broader debate was required on the issue of abolishing capital punishment from the country. PTI NAB SMI
