as I find from the petition that the petitioner has rightly

mentioned the name of the petitioner as ‘Vinay Kumar’ and it

was the fault of the office that name of petitioner as Vijay

Kumar came to be inserted in the cause title.

4. Though, from perusal of record, it transpires that in

the revision petition, the identity details of the Juvenile is being

disclosed, which is against the statutory provisions prescribed

under Section 74 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of

Children) Act, 2015 which mandates protection of disclosure of

identity of the juvenile in conflict with law. Therefore, the

identity of the petitioner is being referred to in the cause title as

XXXX.

5. Registry while uploading the order on the website

shall also ensure that the cause title is reflected in similar

manner.

6. The instant revision petition has been filed for

setting aside the Judgment/Order dated 10.06.2025 passed by

the learned Additional Sessions Judge-I-cum-Special Judge

2025 whereby and whereunder the learned Special Judge
