This crime of rape will come under the POSCO Act and the punishment can vary from 20 years to life imprisonment. But if the accused is itself a minor then he can take a plea under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act, 2015. But there is also a punishment of three years that can be awarded. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Minor Boy definition has changed after Nirbhaya Case. There are different possibilities of his punishment depending upon the exact age of the Minor, for eg. the act of juvenile justice treats a minor of age sixteen-eighteen years as an adult if he has committed any heinous crime in a conflict of the law.
You better discuss your case with a legal expert for clarity on your query.
Hope this helped you.

there is no punishment as per the legal provision of ipc but if such a person is involved then only juvenile court can provide any justice.
Age is a major factor in deciding the cases and under IPC no minor can be punished under IPC
