He wants to be tried as juvenile by the Juvenile Justice Board
The Delhi High Court has asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to respond to a petition by a Hyderabad youth, arrested for his alleged links to terror outfit ISIS, seeking his case to be transferred to the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) as he was a minor when he joined the terrorist organisation.
A Bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Anup Jairam Bhambani gave the direction last week while hearing the petition filed by Abdul Qadeer challenging a January 29, 2021, decision of a Special NIA Court here rejecting his plea to transfer his case to the JJB.
Advocate Md. Mobin Akhtar, representing Qadeer, said that his client’s date of birth is November 25, 1999. He argued that since as per the charge framed, the conspiracy started on May 16, 2017, on which date Qadeer was a juvenile, his client is bound to be sent to the JJB for appropriate proceedings.
