    Case Summary: WPCR 291/2026 Court Decision: The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed Hariprasad's petition seeking compensation for wrongful adult trial as a juvenile. Key Facts: Hariprasad was arrested in 1998 at age 16 for abduction offenses and tried as an adult, receiving 10 years imprisonment in 2004. In 2016, the High Court accepted his juvenility claim and set aside the conviction. The Juvenile Justice Board subsequently imposed only 20 days rehabilitation and a fine. Reasoning: While acknowledging juveniles deserve statutory protection, the court found no mala fide conduct, deliberate law violation, or conscious abuse of authority by respondents. Age determination itself required adjudication; merely being declared juvenile later doesn't automatically make prior proceedings illegal. The court noted compensation requires patent, incontrovertible rights violations—unmet here since custody was pursuant to valid judicial orders. Claims of mental agony and lost opportunities are factual matters unsuitable for writ jurisdiction without concrete evidence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
