An application was made on behalf of the revisionist praying that discharge of the revisionist on the ground that the father's name of juvenile is Chandra Bhan while it was mentioned as Udai Bhan in the first information report, charge-sheet and in the statements of the witnesses. The Juvenile Justice Board and the Appellate Court have dismissed the discharge application of the revisionist on the ground that it was unintentional mistake on the part of the Investigating Officer and others in record of father's name of juvenile. This cannot be a ground to discharge the accused from the alleged offence.
Learned counsel for the respondent no.2 informs that the corrections have already been made in the records regarding father's name of the Versus Counsel for Revisionist(s) : Vidya Dhar Yadav Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Sanjeev Kumar Khare X Minor/Juvenile .....Revisionist(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s)
revisionist. After considering the rival submissions this court finds that with regard to dispute raised, evidence is required which can only be considered by the Juvenile Justice Board and thereafter the appropriate order can be passed after entire evidence is led before the Juvenile Justice Board. The discharge of the revisionist on the ground of some difference in the name of his father cannot be permitted. Revision lacks merit and is accordingly dismissed.
