days, has not been named in the FIR and the FIR itself is ambiguous. Mr. Baghel stated that Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which is for the punishment of murder and other allied sections are invoked against all the

childs in conflict with law, which are six in number.

3.1 Learned advocate Mr. Baghel submitted that the deceased was aged about 24 years and the allegation is that all the children in conflict with law by unlawful assembly for unknown reason had verbal quarrel with the deceased and they all had given kick and fist blows to the deceased, and one person, who has not been named in the complaint, has alleged to have given a blow with the knife at the left side of deceased. Advocate Mr. Baghel stated that all the children in conflict with law were alleged to have fled away from the

place.

3.2 Learned advocate Mr. Baghel submitted that all the co- children in conflict with law have been granted bail under Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice Act by the J.J.B.. Advocate Mr. Baghel submitted that there is nothing on record to say that the present child in conflict with law was having knife in his hand and he was the person, who had inflicted the blow. Mr. Baghel stated that the said allegation would be the primary allegation, which could not have gone unnoticed even by the police at the relevant time, thus stated that he would have been named in the FIR on the basis of the alleged

statement of the co-child in conflict with law, had it been so.
