ABDUL MUNIM vs STATE OF ASSAM — Crl.A. No. 682/2005

Summary of Crl.A. No. 682/2005 (Abdul Munim v. State of Assam) Abdul Munim's appeal against his seven-year rigorous imprisonment conviction for dacoity (IPC §397) was dismissed by the Supreme Court on September 25, 2013. The sole ground of appeal—that he was a juvenile at the time of the offense and should be tried under the Juvenile Justice Act 2000—was rejected after the Sessions Judge found his claim based on manipulated school records to be unfounded. The Court cancelled his bail bond and directed him to surrender forthwith to serve the remainder of his sentence.
