This application is directed against the order dated 28.03.2024 passed by the learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj in connection with Mirzachouki P.S. Case No. 76 of 2023, whereby and whereunder the Opposite Party No. 2 has been declared Juvenile. 3. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner, who is the victim, contends that as per the Ration Card, the age of the petitioner was 23 years as on 01.01.2023, but the same has not been properly considered by the learned Court below. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the opposite parties have submitted that based on the date of birth of the Opposite Party No. 2, the learned Court below has declared him a Juvenile. 5. It appears that the date of birth of the petitioner is 01.01.2008 and the birth certificate has been supported by the enquiry witnesses and P.W.-1 has also deposed that he had issued the same by order of the superior authority in favour of the Opposite Party No. 2. Though the Ration Card was produced wherein the age of the petitioner was depicted to be 23 years as on 01.01.2023, but the veracity in the date of birth has rightly been doubted by the learned Court below while relying upon the birth certificate which had been appropriately approved by the witnesses at the time of enquiry. ( 2026:JHHC:19054 ) 6. In view of the above, therefore, no case is made out by the petitioner to cause interference in the order dated 28.03.2024 passed by the learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj in connection with Mirzachouki P.S. Case No. 76 of 2023, and consequently, this Revision Application stands dismissed. (RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY, J.) Dated: 30th June, 2026 Vedanti/-
