How to deal with trial on murder


27-May-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Sir I work at BHEL as Sr. Manager. My son is 17 yrs old along with 11 other kids (who are adult) is being tried for murder and other criminal charges by sessions court. I thought being a juvenile he should be tried by juvenile court. But court said that going by the gravity of offence it can try the accused as adult. They also said that the new amendment in juvenile act allows trial of minor as adult. What should I do? Please suggest.

According to the new amendment, your son can be tried as an adult in this case, but only after due inquiry as to the gravity and heinousness of the offense.

If your son is tried by the Court as an adult then you should just defend the case well.. and try to prove his innocence.
