As you have stated that he is 19 and a half years old, and he is charged under offences against women and criminal intimidation alongwith voluntary causing hurt.
As per his documents he is 17.5 years old but to prove that he is 19.5 years old.
File a suit/application to J J board seeking a medical test to determine his age as per rule 12(3) but you must have some strong evidence that the age in his documents is faulty. Also, make a good reason as to why you are doubting his documented age in the application.

Rule 12(3) reads as under:
“Rule 12(3): In every case concerning a child or juvenile in conflict with law, the age determination inquiry shall be conducted by the court or the Board or, as the case may be, the Committee by seeking evidence by obtaining –
(i) the matriculation or equivalent certificates, if available; and in the absence whereof;
(ii) the date of birth certificate from the school (other than a play school) first attended; and in the absence whereof;
(iii) the birth certificate given by a corporation or a municipal authority or a panchayat; (b) and only in the absence of either (i), (ii) or (iii) of clause (a) above, the medical opinion will be sought from a duly constituted Medical Board, which will declare the age of the juvenile or child.

Hello,
There are different ways for proving age of an individual. One can prove the age by producing birth certificate, entry in the school admission registered verified by the author of such entry and by ossification test. However, the result of test is not accurate but approximate.
